Re:Turn off ri and rdoc generation by default

Approximately 60% of all questions on #ruby-lang could have been answered by ri, just for the core and stdlib. It's a shame it doesn't get used more.
It's an orthogonal problem, though. The main issue with doc generation is that it is really, really slow (compared to the rest of the install process). If it can be sped up – patches are surely welcome – it'll just leave the envs that flat-out don't need the docs, ever, and those can use the new --no-doc.
