docs: Makefile: Add -no-shell-escape option to LATEXOPTS

It turns out that LaTeX enables \write18, which allows (some) shell
commands to be executed from the document source, by default.  This the
often-seen warning during a pdfdocs build:

  restricted \write18 enabled

That is a potential security problem and is entirely unnecessary; nothing
in the kernel PDF docs build needs that capability.  So disable \write18
explicitly.
