[website] API references links for released versions point to docs for current nightly build #55789

The API Reference section of the reference documentation for LLVM 14.0.0 includes a link "Doxygen generated documentation", which actually points to the Doxygen docs from the current nightly build (currently 15.0.0git). I believe it should point to a frozen generated copy of the docs for the 14.0.0 release.

This means that if we want to know what the API looked like for an older version of LLVM, we have to go read the source code rather than the generated API reference docs.

This seems to be a problem for all previous releases of LLVM listed at https://releases.llvm.org/.

not sure if this is completely relevant, using internet archive seems partially solve the problem for me.

e.g., https://web.archive.org/web/20191223115332/http://llvm.org/doxygen/annotated.html

Until this day, we still have no access to the history API documentation is bizarre to me, this makes reviving old code very difficult.
