configure: Do not require xsltproc for installation of man pages
The release tarballs ship with pre-generated man pages, so we do not
need xsltproc for a typical end-user build.
Developers will probably have xsltproc anyway, but if not they will
now
encounter a build-time failure instead of an error in configure.
