Package fastrtps times out, and then generates no output

[rkent]

Yet they have a nice README which would be useful to include, as well as other useful info in package.xml. Perhaps we could graylist certain packages to disable doxygen when we know our attempt to run it will be fruitless.

In general for this sort of outlier I think that we should push back on the maintainers to tell them to adjust their configuration to build in a reasonable amount of time.

I've manually temporarily extended the build timeout to see how long it runs https://build.ros2.org/view/Rdoc/job/Rdoc__fastrtps__ubuntu_noble_amd64/14

This build took 3 hours and 26 minutes and generated 7GB in some 3000 files for https://docs.ros.org/en/rolling/p/fastrtps

There is a lot of files, but we also have a lot of repeated files for some reason like this:
