Revert "Revert "Only build manual pages in maintainer mode""
This brings back commit cc42bd31: When we release a dist archive, it comes with the documentation but since some of it is generated by programs it makes no real difference, and actually it makes things worse: rebuilding from the dist archive ends up with a rebuild of the documentation because some documentation sources ended up being rebuilt. In other words, the documentation we ship is dead weight in the dist archive and doesn't reduce the number of build dependencies downstream. From now on, rst2man remains mandatory to build our manual pages but can safely be omitted by packaging scripts.
