Short doc url don't mention Rust version at all

[huonw]

E.g. http://doc.rust-lang.org/std/index.html

Possible solutions:

• not have the short forms
• have the version on each page
• redirect to the .../master/... or .../1.0/... (or whatever) version as appropriate

The current action is intentional, and we have some rules in nginx to rewrite urls to /master. I personally like the short urls, but it's true that there's no indication in the url or on the page what the version is.

Nominating, we should probably have stable doc urls for 1.0.

What about displaying the version number on the page, with a dropdown to change it, like Python has?

1.0 P-low

One of Google's SEO recommendation is "Provide one version of a URL to
reach a document" (from here), which might argue for redirects instead.

[taralx]

link rel="canonical" fixes that.

Nominating for removal from 1.0. Not critical.
