Re: [Libreoffice-commits] .: Removed documentation from type rdbs

See below commit for shrinking size of type rdbs by removing the 
unused(?) UNOIDL documentation contained within.

I'm really not sure there was a reason to include it in the first place 
(in the *_doc variants before gbuild'ification, and unconditionally 
afterwards).  If anybody knows about a reason, please do speak up. 
(Jürgen, do you remember any?)

Otherwise, it might be fine to backport this master commit to 
libreoffice-3-5, too.  (It slightly reduces installation set size. 
Whether it also improves performance I did not bother to measure---I 
doubt it makes a noticeable difference on contemporary hardware.)
