It turns out the logic for dist_man_MANS was incorrectly put inside the
HAVE_PYDOCUTILS block.  This results in the man page being installed
only if python-docutils is installed and available.

The solution is simple, move the dist_man_MANS part outside the
python-docutils block.  The openvpn.8 file is prebuilt in source
tarballs and will thus be available.

Note: This may have a negative impact on hosts running 'make install'
(which also happens via 'make distcheck') when using the git tree or
otherwise not having a pre-built doc/openvpn.8 file available.

I have not tested it further, but the explanation + test report make
this "good enough"
