user manuals are not part of debian "-doc" packages

Description

Now that the user manuals are built alongside the source code, it would be very useful if the user manuals + VTY reference manuals were also packaged in a "-doc" debian sub-package, i.e. that osmo-bts-doc would contain the osmo-bts usermanual + vty reference manual.

Patches created for:
  • create osmo-gsm-manuals-dev debian package
  • create osmo-bts-doc package (as example, other repos will follow)
  • adjust osmo-ci to build osmo-gsm-manuals-dev
Local testing done:
  • osmo-gsm-manuals-dev builds (dpkg-buildpackage -tc -uc -us and with pbuilder to make sure that dependencies are right)
  • osmo-bts builds with the new osmo-gsm-manuals-dev package and installs the manuals to /usr/share/doc/osmocom/

pespin, since you have been doing the packaging for the most part, can you review the patches?

(The patches depending on others are set to WIP. As usually, on what they depend is listed in the commit message.)

The OBS nightly job fails to build osmo-gsm-manuals-dev right now. It seems that a proper version is required, even for the nightly job: https://jenkins.osmocom.org/jenkins/job/Osmocom_OBS_nightly/54/console

Therefore I have prepared a 0.1.0 release here:
https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/osmo-gsm-manuals/+/13635/

Release is tagged, the nightly jenkins job runs again. It uploads the source packages successfully.
However, OBS only builds the Ubuntu 18.04 and 18.10 packages so far. Packages for other distros have dependency issues:

I'm looking into it.

For some reason, the osmo-gsm-manuals-dev deb is empty when built in OBS (although it has all data locally). Therefore osmo-bts failed to build with the osmo-gsm-manuals package from OBS. I've reverted the patch that makes use of osmo-gsm-manuals-dev in osmo-bts for now. Next up for me is looking into why that package is empty on OBS, creating a fix, and testing everything in my own OBS namespace before merging to master.
