Disable PDF manual building for distribution and installation.

The PDF docs are huge, take forever to build and aren't particularly
useful in practice being so unwieldy.  We can always build and
manually upload a static copy if there's demand, but they don't really
serve much useful purpose anymore and bloat our downloads.
