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:

I asked on twitter for online whiteboard solutions. These are some of the
ones that were suggested. There's a few that I managed to check out
quickly and got rid of the links without thinking that I might want
them for posterity. This is what I had left. Know of others? Please
add in comments.
