x/pkgsite: generate static docs #2381

@moraes

Description

@moraes
It is fairly trivial to compile a given Go version and run the doc server locally to
search for an older API.

But it would be nice if golang.org provided access to docs per release. One simple
solution to this is to add an option to godoc to generate static docs on disk -- just a
tree of static files (search would be disabled of course). Then docs for old versions
could be made available somewhere in golang.org.

One additional benefit is that projects that want to ship docs could generate the static
files and provide the html files for download, or create pdfs, chms etc based on them.

PS: I tried searching for a similar issue; sorry if this is a duplicate.
