Can we have a common way to enable GTK-Doc installation in modules
using CMake? In modules using Autotools, we have --enable-gtk-doc which
is recognized by every module supporting generating documentation with
GTK-Doc . However, we have two important modules using CMake,
Evolution (including Evolution-Data-Server) and WebKitGTK+, but they
require different options to enable GTK-Doc.

Evolution only recognizes -DENABLE_GTK_DOC=ON and WebKitGTK+ only
recognizes -DENABLE_GTKDOC=ON. I think it will be better to have single
way to do it, so users don't have to remember to use different options
when building different modules, and jhbuild users can write single
cmakeargs instead of many module_cmakeargs in jhbuildrc when they want
to install GTK-Doc documentation.
