[SPARK-18923][DOC][BUILD] Support skipping R/Python API docs

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

We can build Python API docs by `cd ./python/docs && make html for Python` and R API docs by `cd ./R && sh create-docs.sh for R` separately. However, `jekyll` fails in some environments.

This PR aims to support `SKIP_PYTHONDOC` and `SKIP_RDOC` for documentation build in `docs` folder. Currently, we can use `SKIP_SCALADOC` or `SKIP_API`. The reason providing additional options is that the Spark documentation build uses a number of tools to build HTML docs and API docs in Scala, Python and R. Specifically, for Python and R,

- Python API docs requires `sphinx`.
- R API docs requires `R` installation and `knitr` (and more others libraries).

In other words, we cannot generate Python API docs without R installation. Also, we cannot generate R API docs without Python `sphinx` installation. If Spark provides `SKIP_PYTHONDOC` and `SKIP_RDOC` like `SKIP_SCALADOC`, it would be more convenient.

## How was this patch tested?

Manual.

**Skipping Scala/Java/Python API Doc Build**
```bash
$ cd docs
$ SKIP_SCALADOC=1 SKIP_PYTHONDOC=1 jekyll build
$ ls api

**Skipping Scala/Java/R API Doc Build**
```bash
$ cd docs
$ SKIP_SCALADOC=1 SKIP_RDOC=1 jekyll build
$ ls api
