Just recall that we could apply
[COUCHDB-1658](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1658)
[patch](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12567123/COUCHDB-1658.1.patch)
that could be the solution for missed local docs. And then this PR makes links
right. In case of missed local docs you'll be just redirected to online ones
instead of browsing 404 page.

> Probably, it's better to redirect user to online docs (e.g.
> https://couchdb.readthedocs.org/en/{version}/ ) instead of showing "Not
> found." message if CouchDB was built without local docs support. Since
> {version} might not be equal to the branch name, may be take major and minor
> numbers with 'x' joined by dot '.' or set it as 'latest' if 'git' substring
> was found in version.
