Increase disk space in container for doc builder (#504)

The deploy_dev_docs action was failing due to running out of disk space
in the container. This was alleviated by running the 
`maximize-build-space` Github action.

+- Fix publishing of development docs
 
 Detailed Notes
 
+- The container which builds the documentation for every merge to develop

+  software and files that come from the default Github Ubuntu container.
