We do have a project that requires docx documentation that includes parts of the LLVM documentation, so being able to generate it from the build is helpful. However, if adding docx support is not useful to anyone else then the changes can be kept out of tree.

A few observations are that the makefile.bat and Makefile.sphinx files already appear to support many of the build targets supported by Sphinx, so adding docx did not seem out of place. Building docx as part of the LLVM build is disabled by default so has no impact unless explicitly enabled. The changes to support it appeared fairly minor.

The changes not directly related to adding docx support have been split out to D106338 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D106338>, D106734 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D106734> and D106736 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D106736> which may be worth considering independent of whether this review is useful.
