Summary

This file is auto-generated, it's a bit confusing for the maintainers to have it
in tree while it shouldn't be modified *and* already have a rule to be
generated.

@aaron.ballman this is just a patch to start a discussion: We already have the cmake rule to generate this file, so removing it from tree actually doesn't break compilation. So I'm wondering why and if we should keep it checked in? Removing it would make it less likely for simple minded people like me to edit it (without reading the header warning)

I think it's a good idea to remove it from the tree. We already removed the attribute and diagnostic references, both of which are generated files as well. When I remove the command line reference locally and do a non-cmake-based build (the old make html-style of doing local builds) and I get very reasonable behavior:

Build finished. The HTML pages are in _build/html.

Those three links are broken in the local docs, but that's fine.

That's sounds like an "OK" to me, right?
