doc: remove unnecessary rm instances

Commits 50cff52 (When generating manpages, delete outdated targets
first., 2007-08-02) and f928676 (Documentation/Makefile: remove
cmd-list.made before redirecting to it., 2007-08-06) created these rm
instances for a very rare corner-case: building as root by mistake.

It's odd to have workarounds here, but nowhere else in the Makefile--
which already fails in this stuation, starting from
Documentation/technical/.

We gain nothing but complexity, so let's remove them.
