out of srcdir build support for api-docs

Right now it is not possible to do out of srcdir builds for gstreamer due to
deficiencies in the api-doc build. For gtk-doc this is tracked as Bug #127049.
GStreamer has a copy of the upstream doc-build makefiles, that diverted quite a
bit. This is an attemp to resync them and fix the out-of-srcdir build.

To test it:
# do a clean checkout
/autogen.sh --noconfigure
# apply the patch to common
mkdir _debug
cd debug
../configure ....
make && sudo make install

The feature allows you to keep a clean source tree and have multiples
configurations ready to be build.
