Removing core-spec.pdf from repository?

[Takenobu Tani]

Hi devs,

How about putting it here every release? :
  https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/  or
  https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/

`core-spec.pdf` will be helpful.
But generating it in Windows is a bit complicated :)

Regards,
Takenobu
