Overview

Move responsibility for building documentation hosted on main.actor from main.actor to library maintainers.

Current Architecture

At the moment, main.actor is responsible for building documentation for "hosted" packages. This raises some issues:

Documentation builds can only handle known archetypes
Allowing for ways to handle these can open up security concerns where we run arbitrary code in an environment that has write access to Ponylang repos.

	# CI image overview problem

	This is based on a number of problems I've seen with the adhoc system we've developed.

	In general right now, everthing is of the form:

	- ponylang/ponyc-ci:shellcheck.

	The is problematic when we need to make breaking changes to an image, for example to remove SSL.
	When I did that, once the images were updated, all existing jobs for one PRs etc would break. I
