…#38085)

* Enable py2docfx docs gen tool, remove the dockerimage docs validation

* Remove the --no-venv-required flag from the command line which was a leftover copy/paste from the original PR

* Change the version to a pre-release for testing as the released version doesn't appear to have these changes

* Update py2docfx version since previous version had problems on Linux

* Change the python command to add -u so the sdtout and stderr streams are unbuffered and we see the full output

* Updates for feedback and to see what's going on with the output

* Remove the Get-Content line which should have been removed in the last commit

* Print the command output on actual different lines

* Finish the sentence in the comment
