Cache the documentation status for all versions of a package

I think we need to cache the documentation status (exists / does not exist) for every version of a package.

As Sonja mentions in https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml.org/issues/1343, we sometimes see 404 errors on the documentation under the latest URL. This is when a package has been added to opam-repository and ocaml.org has picked up the new package info - but the documentation has not been built yet. It would be great to be able to add a redirect to the newest package version that has docs on ocaml.org
In an eventual overhaul of the package version switcher we want to show the documentation status of any version of the package
in the package search results, it will be nice to show whether there's docs

@sabine this is the same thing I'm working on, right?
