Looks like an issue for stardoc, but apparently the downstream CI build of Bazel itself somehow depends on stardoc?

Guess we'll have to address bazelbuild/stardoc#145, cut a stardoc release, and update whatever is pulling it into this build to the new version. Sasha will be back in January so may as well wait until then, since we have some time before 7.0.

Note that https://bazel-review.googlesource.com/c/bazel/+/208644 enables this flag by default, which I believe we can re-ping when we've closed this and https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/17032.
