Extend the trick we use to speed up the "clean" target to also extend
to the "lint-docs" target. See 54df87555b1 (Documentation/Makefile:
conditionally include doc.dep, 2020-12-08) for the "clean"
implementation.
The "doc-lint" target only depends on *.txt files, so we don't need to
generate GIT-VERSION-FILE etc. if that's all we're doing. This makes
the "make lint-docs" target more than 2x as fast:
$ git show HEAD~:Documentation/Makefile >Makefile.old
$ hyperfine -L f ",.old" 'make -f Makefile{f} lint-docs'
Benchmark #1: make -f Makefile lint-docs
Time (mean ± σ): 100.2 ms ± 1.3 ms [User: 93.7 ms, System: 6.7 ms]
Range (min … max): 98.4 ms … 103.1 ms 29 runs
Benchmark #2: make -f Makefile.old lint-docs
Time (mean ± σ): 220.0 ms ± 20.0 ms [User: 206.0 ms, System: 18.0 ms]
Range (min … max): 206.6 ms … 267.5 ms 11 runs
Summary
'make -f Makefile lint-docs' ran
2.19 ± 0.20 times faster than 'make -f Makefile.old lint-docs'
