Looks like we've actually had a malformed rustdoc reference in the rustdocs
for Registration::new_foreign_owned() for a while that, when fixed, still
couldn't resolve properly because it refers to a private item.

This is probably leftover from when Registration::new() was public, so drop
the documentation from that function and fixup the documentation for
Registration::new_foreign_owned().

I'd add a Fixes: tag for this, since it's user facing documentation.
