man: Generate the man pages at build time

This makes it possible to filter them and update several variable
strings such as system and package pathnames, the release date and
the dpkg suite version. And will make it possible to use UTF-8 in
the source and convert to the more conservative groff escape
sequences on the output.

+Upload the architecture specific and independent binary packages.
+This is an alias for \fBany,all\fP.
+.TP
+.B full
+Upload everything.
+This is alias for \fBsource,any,all\fP, and the same as the default case
+when no build option is specified.
+.RE
+.TP
+.B \-g
+Equivalent to \fB\-\-build=source,all\fP (since dpkg 1.17.11).
+.TP
