Description
### Describe the bug
We accidentally have checked in a 40MB binary `docs.tgz` file in https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/10407
https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/10416 removed the file but it is still in git history
Thus the DataFusion repo is significantly larger than it used to be

Contributor guide
Research direction
Review PRs 10407 and 10416, then inspect the repository history for the docs.tgz binary. Determine how the file can be removed from Git history without losing unrelated changes. Done means the file is absent from history and the repository no longer carries the extra 40MB.
