Split db package due to overwhelming size of documentation

Splitted db package due to overwhelming size of documentation, which may often not be needed.

Thanks for pull request.
But splitting package is not the all work that need to be done. Splitting package is useful but after that we need to change all PKGBUILD's that depends on this package to properly handle dependencies.
Look into very simple example:
We split package A to A1, A2, A3.
A1 - binaries; A2 - headers and import libs; A3 - docs
Some package B depends on A.
We need to fix B to have:
depends=(A1)
makedepends=(A2)

Regards,
Alexey.

You could just split the docs off on their own to make life easier for
yourself (and Alexey with the rebuild / reupload requirements)?
