using --disable-manpage-support it's finally possibly to disable
the formerly obligatory use of a2x to generate the manpage
documentation.
this is the final solution to the decade old problem that users need
to install the enormous asciidoc package to compile TINYproxy from
source, or otherwise get a build error, even though the vast majority
is only interested in the program itself.
solution was inspired by PR #179.
closes #179
closes #111
note that since 1.10.0 release the generated release tarball includes
the generated manpages too; in which case neither the use of a2x
nor --disable-manpage-support is required.

according to https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Standard-Targets.html#Standard-Targets
`maintainer-clean` is the proper make target for files that are distributed
in a release tarball:
> The ‘maintainer-clean’ target is intended to be used by a maintainer of the
> package, not by ordinary users.
> You may need special tools to reconstruct some of the files that
> ‘make maintainer-clean’ deletes.
this prevents users without a2x or asciidoctor from losing their ability to
recompile tinyproxy after `make clean`, but it also means that users wanting
to regenerate the documentation need to run `make maintainer-clean`.

asciidoctor is a modern replacement for asciidoc and much more lightweight,
issuing "apt-get install asciidoc" on ubuntu 16.04 results in an attempt to
install more than 1.3 GB of dependencies.

Fix OS X build

`make dist` now creates the manpages and puts them into the tarball, so
the user does not need to have `a2x` installed to build them.

asciidoc is necessary as the version number is added during
configure into the asciidoc manpage sources. So simply bundling
a pre-generated manpage won't do.
