Currently important build targets are somewhat hard to discover. This commit
documents important meson build targets in the sgml documentation. But it's
awkward to have to lookup build targets in the docs when hacking, so this also
adds a 'help' target, printing out the same information. To avoid having to
duplicate information in two places, generate both docbook and interactive
docs from a single source.

Building the Documentation with Meson
- Two options are provided for building the documentation using Meson.
- Change to the build directory before running
