dist: make the hugehelp.c not get regenerated unnecessarily

The maketgz script now makes sure the generated hugehelp.c file in the
tarball is newer than the generated curl.1 man page, so that it doesn't
have to get unnecessarily rebuilt first thing in a typical build. It
thus also removes the need for perl to build off a plain release
tarball.

Fixes #1565
