[Github-comments] [geany] Detect docutils availability automatically during configure (#863)

[Jiří Techet]

When docutils isn't installed, the configure phase ends with

```
configure: error: Documentation enabled but rst2html not found.
You can explicitly disable building of the HTML manual with --disable-html-docs,
but you then may not have a local copy of the HTML manual.
```

Shouldn't Geany be built without docs in this case without the error? Maybe this is a feature to make sure that the user gets the docs built but at least for me this is a bit annoying and it may discourage users with less experience to try building geany from sources.
