Description

### 📚 Documentation

When I search for `multi-gpu training pytorch lightning` in google, the first result turns out to be documentation for [v0.9.0](https://pytorch-lightning.readthedocs.io/en/0.9.0/multi_gpu.html) which is different from the latest documentation. It will be nice if the older versions are removed from search indexing as it will prevent confusion (In my case, v0.9.0 had different arguments for multi-gpu training compared to the latest, causing confusion). I presume there must be something like [noindex](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/block-indexing) which when setup, prevents the page from getting indexed.

Research direction

Start by inspecting how the v0.9.0 Read the Docs pages are published and whether their HTML can receive noindex metadata. Done means old-version pages no longer appear in search indexing while the latest documentation remains available.
