Bug#1009797: apt: support "nodoc" build profile



> Just to add a rather unrelated argument for the nodoc support in apt. apt is

For the record: I wrote nodoc and pkg.apt.nodoxygen support earlier last
month and have it finally proposed earlier today in a MR request…
https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/-/merge_requests/238

Another argument is actually that it helps our own CI tests: We do not
build the packages so far, but we build i386 and amd64 to run tests in
different setups (as root and as non-root) and building the docs twice
is kinda pointless, so now we don't do this anymore while also using
apts support for build-profiles to make cuts on setup costs as well.

So…

don't worry, I got a bit sidetracked and there could be done a lot more
(as always) but sometimes I enjoy digging myself into a hole even if
nobody really needs it… with three-ish (potential) "wouldn't it be nice"
users this feature set might even be in the upper bracket of usefulness
for things I did in these rabbit hole endeavours… ;P
