coreutils: don't generate useless dummy stub manpages
We had a couple patches to 1) deal with missing perl and 2) deal
with the perl-less "dummy" help2man fallout, but in the end, they
achieve no purpose whatsoever, since they just populate the doc
RPM with manpages like this one:
NAME
chmod - a GNU coreutils 8.22 program
DESCRIPTION
OOOPS! Due to the lack of perl on the build system, we were
unable to create a proper manual page for chmod.
As the above serves no purpose whatsoever, and since the concept
of running the binaries to capture the "--help" text output is
completely broken for cross compiles, lets just decouple man page
generation from the building of coreutils entirely so it paves the
way for importing pre-generated manpages.
