[PATCH] lang/ghc: remove unused DOCS_BUILD_DEPENDS=3Dxetex

lang/ghc currently does not even package its built HTML and PDF docs, so th=
ere
is no point in building them. Furthermore, users can still generally view P=
DF
docs using their web browser pointing to upstream PDF URLs at haskell.org.

In order to build the PDF docs, it BUILD_DEPENDS on print/tex-xetex, which
pulls GBs worth of dependencies and takes quite a long time to build. This
patch removes the essentially "unused" dependency on print/tex-xetex and sa=
ves
on this time and storage cost.
