Rollup merge of rust-lang#47404 - integer32llc:reexport-to-re-export, r=steveklabnik
Standardize on "re-export" rather than "reexport"
While working on the book with our editors, it was brought to our attention that we're not consistent with when we use "re-export" versus "reexport". For the book, we've decided (with our editors) to go with "re-export"; in prose, I think that looks better. In code, I'm fine with "reexport".
However, the rustdoc generated section is currently "Reexports", so when we have a screenshot of generated documentation with the prose where we use "re-export", it's inconsistent.
It's too late to fix this for the book because we're using 1.21.0 for the output in the book, and it's really only one spot so it's not a huge deal, but I'd like to advocate for changing the documentation header so that a future edition of the book can be consistent.
The first commit here only changes the documentation section heading text and rustdoc documentation that references it. This is the commit that's most important to me.
The second commit changes error messages and associated tests to also be consistent with the use of re-export. This is the next most important commit to me, but I could be argued out of this one because then it won't match code like the `macro_reexports` feature name, which ostensibly should change to `macro_re_exports` to be most consistent but I didn't want to change code.
The last commit changes re-export anywhere else in prose: either in documentation comments or regular comments. This is least important as most of them aren't user-visible. Instances like these will likely sneak back in over time. I'm totally fine dropping this commit if anyone wants, but [the hobgoblins made me do it](http://www.bartleby.com/100/420.47.html) and it sets a good example.
