doc: make HTML manual build optional

Add `html-manual` Meson option to allow building manpages without the
HTML manual, removing the mdbook dependency for manpage-only builds.

Changes:
- Add `html-manual` Meson option (default: true)
- Make HTML manual build conditional in meson.build
- Add `buildHtmlManual` parameter to package.nix
- Conditional outputs: ["out" "man"] when enabled, ["out"] when disabled
- Make mdbook/rsync/json-schema-for-humans dependencies conditional
- Add `nix-manual-manpages-only` package variant

This allows systems that only need manpages to avoid the mdbook build
dependency while preserving full functionality for HTML manual builds.
