If the problem is broken doc patches, then maybe a solution is to
include the `xmllint --noout --valid` target in whatever the check-world
equivalent is for meson.  Looking at doc/src/sgml/meson.build, we don't
seem to do that anywhere.  Doing the no-output lint run is very fast
(375ms real time in my machine, whereas "make html" takes 27s).
