[PATCH v2 4/5] doc: simplify Makefile using .DELETE_ON_ERROR

[Felipe Contreras <felipe.contreras@gmail.com>]

Currently GNU make already removes files when catching an interruption
signal, however, in order to deal with other kinds of errors a
workaround is in place to store target output to a temporary file, and
only move it to its right place on success.

By enabling the built-in .DELETE_ON_ERROR we let make do this task, so
we don't have to.

This way the rules can be simplified a lot.
