Log message:
kicad-doc: remove package

Starting with 8.0, upstream doesn't distribute prebuilt docs in
tarball format.
Building docs requires some odd toolchain things we don't have.

Please refer to the online documentation, which you can also download
from the link in PDF format for offline use: https://docs.kicad.org/8.0/
