doc lint: make "lint-docs" non-.PHONY

Speed up the "lint-docs" target by making it non-.PHONY. Similar to my
c234e8a0ec (Makefile: make the "sparse" target non-.PHONY,
2021-09-23). We'll now create empty files corresponding to a
dependency graph for each of these lint scripts.

This speeds things up a bit[1], and makes the output correspond to any
in-tree changes we have:

    $ touch git-add.txt; make lint-docs; make lint-docs
        GEN cmd-list.made
        GEN doc.dep
        LINT GITLINK git-add.txt
        LINT MAN END git-add.txt
        LINT MAN SEC git-add.txt
    make: Nothing to be done for 'lint-docs'.

As with the "sparse" target changes this has a hard dependency on the
use of ".DELETE_ON_ERROR" in the Makefile, added here in
db10fc6c09 (doc: simplify Makefile using .DELETE_ON_ERROR,
2021-05-21). This method also depends on the output for us emitting
any errors on STDERR (fixed in a preceding commit), as well us these
scripts exiting with non-zero on any errors (which they were already
doing).
