build: drop tool_hugehelp.c.cvs, tidy up macros, drop buildconf.bat 
Rework the way `tool_hugehelp.c` is included in builds.

After this patch, with `./configure` and CMake `tool_hugehelp.c` is only
compiled when building with manuals enabled. With manuals disabled this
source file is not used anymore. The method is similar to how
8a3740bc8e implemented `tool_ca_embed.c`.
`./configure` always generates it as before, otherwise the build fails.

- winbuild: rework to not need `buildconf.bat`, but automatically use
  `tool_hugehelp.c` if present (e.g. when building from an official
  source tarball) and enable `USE_MANUAL` accordingly.

- `buildconf.bat`: after dropping `tool_hugehelp.c` generation, the only
  logic left was `cp Makefile.dist Makefile`. This allowed to launch
  winbuild builds via GNU Make in a Git repo. Drop this option together
  with the batch file.

- build `libcurltool` without `USE_MANUAL` macro to exclude the manual
  and the dependence on the generator commands. Drop relying on
  `UNITTESTS` for this purpose.
  Follow-up to 96843f4ef7 #16068

- `src/mkhelp.pl`: include `tool_hugehelp.h` before using `USE_MANUAL`
  to have it set in `config-*.h` builds with source tarballs created
  with manual but without zlib.

Closes #16081

GIT-INFO

This file is only present in git - never in release archives. It contains information about other files and things that the git repository keeps in its inner sanctum.

To build in environments that support configure, after having extracted everything from git, do this:

autoreconf -fi
./configure --with-openssl
make

Daniel uses a configure line similar to this for easier development:

./configure --disable-shared --enable-debug --enable-maintainer-mode
