PEP 101: Remove DE tasks

[hugovk]

Since python/release-tools#71 the docs have been automatically built in the CI and there's no manual tasks for the Docs Expert as part of PEP 101.

Arguably this step could be kept (modulo whoever does the checking), there have been recent releases where the docs haven't built properly, so it was important to check, even though CI failing/hanging alerted us to this.

There's not actually a step in the automation scripts at https://github.com/python/release-tools that does this (or pauses to get someone to check it), other than the CI passing.

We could add one, if we can define something useful?

[AA-Turner]

Arguably at minimum, the HTML files should seem fine at dip-test level, the EPUB file should pass EPUBcheck, the PDF archives should contain the expected files & not be corrupt, etc. These feel like reasonable checks?

I agree with @AA-Turner's recommendation to add a minimum inspection of some of the doc artifacts. I would specifically add peeks at the HTML version of the What's New page and especially the changelog page as the latter is generated during the build process.

I wouldn't object to someone from the Docs Community doing a spot check of the release. That said, I'm not sure that there needs to be a dedicated resource to do so.
