kdoctools_install: fix doc detection in path with special chars

Pino Toscano requested to merge pino/kdoctools:fix-kdoctools_install-with-special-paths-kf5 into kf5

${lang_dir} represents the absolute path of a directory within the sources that contains the files for a language; if this path contains special characters (e.g. +), then using it in a regex such as

"${lang_dir}/docs/(.*)/index.docbook"

will not produce matches.

To avoid special characters getting in the way of the lookup for manpages or index.docbook files, restrict the results of the glob search relative to ${lang_dir}, making sure to compose full paths back when invoking kdoctools_create_manpage() and kdoctools_create_handbook().

To make sure it can be tested and it does not regress, rename the existing kdoctools-install autotest to kdoctools+install.

Backport of !40 (merged) for kf5.
