meson: include generated man pages in dist tarballs
Meson doesn't have an idiomatic way of doing this (for once!)
so we have to (per Eli Schwartz, thanks!) have:
1. a dist script which duplicates the build rule;
2. some meson.build if/else logic with fs.exists() to prefer the built manpage when using tarballs
Sadly, still can't easily regenerate man pages if
you apply a patch downstream though.
We use Michael Stapelberg's example from the linked bug as inspiration.
Bug: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/2166
