Rollup merge of rust-lang#144000 - jacob-greenfield:stable-defid-parent, r=celinval

Add `DefId::parent()` accessor for `rustc_public`

Adds a `parent()` method to `DefId` (the `rustc_pub` version) which exposes the parent path, ie. `foo::bar::baz` -> `foo::bar`.

This is useful for organizing/grouping definitions into a tree, and is probably simpler and less brittle than attempting to parse the fully-qualified name into path components (e.g. especially when handling path components with qualified generic parameters).
