    doc/doc.am: Fix Savannah #64059.
    
    * doc/doc.am (install-txt): Look for "groff.txt" in the source and build
      directories in sequence; it could be in either place depending on
      whether the build is from the Git repository or from a distribution
      archive.  Annotate this.  Fixes "install-doc" target when building
      from Git repository.  Problem introduced by me in commit 691fc70108,
      22 February.  Thanks to Nikita Ivanov for the report.
    
      (install-pdf-local, install-html-local): Similar.
    
    Also fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?64059>, later reported
    anonymously.
    
    I wasn't getting problems in my builds even with "make distcheck" (which
    performs a build from a distribution archive in a remote out-of-tree
    location), but changing $(top_srcdir)/doc to $(doc_builddir) revealed
    problems with repo builds.
