Add new Makefile target to rebuild the whole dist

Due to the fact how the automake system works it doesn't rebuild already
prebuild files in distcheck. This lead to a bug, where a rebuild of the
documentation was failing because we missed the fact that the files were
missing from the archive.

By adding distrebuildcheck we workaround that issue by running a
maintainer-clean which also removes prebuild files.
