[Roxygen-devel] Why does roxygen generate ./inst/doc?

We removed callgraphs because RGraphiz was an onerous dependency; we
need to either rewrite it using an R-native package or delete
references to it.

roxygenize() does indeed create a package skeleton consisting of ./man
and ./inst/doc; maybe we should create the latter only conditionally
if there are callgraphs.

This trivial patch would prevent inst/doc from being created
preemptively; we could then create it as needed from the callgraph
roclet.
