Fixes #15455

Summary

  • propagate failures from the documentation generators and Sphinx on Windows
  • keep incremental builds working when the target output directory already exists
  • return a non-zero exit status for failed builds and missing Sphinx

Validation

  • ran docs/make.cmd html twice with a compiled stub that returns success for the generator and exit code 7 for Sphinx
  • verified both invocations returned exit code 1 and did not report a successful build

🤖🤖
