ghc missing html and pdf user guides

Description
The latest ghc is missing the GHC User's Guide in the files /opt/local/share/doc/ghc-8.6.5/html/users_guide/ and /opt/local/share/doc/ghc-8.6.5/users_guide.pdf.
I know first-hand that these are created and installed when building from source.
But I don't know what changed with the buildbot version during the merge of https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/5049 that causes this issue.
We should modify the Portfile so that the GHC User's Guide, both HTML and pdf versions, are created and installed by the buildbot.
Also, I'm listed as the maintainer, but don't know how to address this buildbot issue, so please assign appropriately.

If I had to bet, I would start with there is a missing dependency needed to include the docs in the build, that you happen to have locally (and is used) but which is not listed in the port as a build dep, so is missing when the build bots run.
You should start but checking out the build bot logs at
https://ports.macports.org/port/ghc/builds
to see if you can spot why the docs are not being included, and go from there.
