Not sure it's possible or not (maybe impossible now), if multiple
packages can be generated by single port on single build,

  if DOCS option is set, generate 2 pkgs
    llvm(major)-(full-ver)_(rev),(epoch).pkg
    llvm(major)-doc-(full-ver)_(rev),(epoch).pkg
  if not, generate
    llvm(major)-(full-ver)_(rev),(epoch).pkg
  only,

set DOCS by default for pkg build cluster and anyone who do not want
suffer from rust hell can unset DOCS and install docs pkg from official
repo.
