python3.doc: build offline documentation

Since python documentation requires Sphinx to build, documentation is built in
separate derivation to avoid hard recursion/bootstrapping questions and plugged
into main derivation. Care is taken that "python3.doc" derivation feels and
looks as close as possible to as if it were main derivation were multi-output
one.

This change does not cause rebuild of python3 itself.
