build: fix generation of manpages for programs not built by default
* src/local.mk (dist-hook): Don't use this to ensure all the programs, even the ones disabled by default or by the user, are built (doing so is required to ensure the distributed manpages are properly built). This would build those programs too late anyway, causing errors like: $ make dist make dist-xz am__post_remove_distdir='@:' make[1]: Entering directory `~/src/coreutils' GEN man/arch.1 help2man: can't get '--help' info from man/arch.td/arch make[1]: *** [man/arch.1] Error 127 make[1]: Leaving directory `~/src/coreutils' make: *** [dist] Error 2 Instead, ... * man/local.mk (extra_man_x, extra_man_1): define these ... ($(extra_man_1)): ... and make this depend on $(all_programs). (EXTRA_DIST): Adjust. Adjust some comments as well.
