openvpn(8) not installed unless python-docutils available

Description
The distribution file contains the openvpn(8) man page, but it's not installed unless python-docutils is installed. However, python-docutils would only be needed to generate the man page from the rst file, which is already a step that happens during the creating of the distribution, so the requirement is not necessary.
The attached patch fixes this.

A patch for this has been merged into release/2.5 already in October

build: Fix missing install of man page in certain environments
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.
so this will be fixed in upcoming 2.5.1 (1-2 weeks ETA).
