[PATCH 1/3] meson: introduce a "docs" alias to compile documentation only
From: Patrick Steinhardt <hidden>

documentation, the rest · Maintainers:

Meson does not currently provide a target to compile documentation, only. Instead, users needs to compile the whole project, which may be way more than they really intend to do. Introduce a new "docs" alias to plug this gap. This alias can be invoked e.g. with `meson compile docs`.
