CHROMIUM: Disable help2man doc generation

There is a stage of libmbim build where we try to run help2man on the
generated binaries. However, when the binary was cross-compiled for an
architecture different than the build machine, this stage fails and
causes the entire build to fail.

After some tests, I've discovered that this was also present with an
autotools build, but the failure was silent and didn't cause the rest
of the build to fail. After the migration to meson, the failure is no
longer silent, and breaks the whole build. I don't see any way to
cleanly disable this step, so this change temporarily masks out the
help2man attempt.

gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-broadband/libqmi/-/issues/75 was raised to
track this issue upstream.

BUG=b:194284044
TEST=verified successful build on trogdor
