This feature already exists.  The latest GNU Octave documentation has
always been available from

   https://octave.org/doc/interpreter

Now I am overhauling the website a little and added a more intuitive link

   https://octave.org/doc/latest

Thus "latest" and "interpreter" point to the latest version of the
documentation now.  A further step was to implant some version chooser
into the manual pages itself, but this requires some more work...
