separate build targets for man and html documentation

This introduces new build targets "man" and "html" which allow building
the documentation in the respective formats separately. This helps
people with a partial documentation build chain: html pages can be built
without xmlto.

This is documented in INSTALL now, together with corrections: Before,
instructions in INSTALL would build man+html but install man only. Now
the instructions build and install both, and new and pre-existing
targets are explained.

Note that build targets "doc" and "man" correspond to install targets
"install-doc install-html" and "install-doc" respectively. This
inconsistency is not changed, in order to keep everyone's build scripts
from breaking.

inclined to install the tools, the default build target

"make doc" builds documentation in man and html formats; there are
also "make man", "make html" and "make info". Note that "make html"
requires asciidoc, but not xmlto. "make man" (and thus make doc)
requires both.

"make install-doc" installs documentation in man format only; there
are also "make install-man", "make install-html" and "make
install-info".

Building and installing the info file additionally requires
makeinfo and docbook2X. Version 0.8.3 is known to work.

The documentation is written for AsciiDoc 7, but "make
ASCIIDOC8=YesPlease doc" will let you format with AsciiDoc 8.
