Master build

Steps of reproduction

asciidoc has a lot require packages (800+ mb). So I went to install via apt-get --no-install-recommends install asciidoc for smaller packages. The log from ninja-build

Fixed in next. You can set build_docs build option to false to disable docs.

[dikiaap]

Awesome. Thank you!

Is this the correct way to disable it?
meson --buildtype=release . build -Dbuild_docs=false

[yshui]

@dikiaap yes. and it defaults to false
