gtk: fix lock-version and mark-auto-installed
When a stateful GAction without a parameter type is activated from a
menu, the activate handler receives parameter == NULL, so reading the
new value via g_variant_get_boolean(parameter) always yielded FALSE.
As a result both toggles could only ever unset their flag.
Read the actions current state instead and toggle it, and update
the state so the menu checkmark reflects the change immediately.
Fixes: #184

debian,help: add xmlto and custom synaptic-html target
Our help menu will use yelp:synaptic and then if yelp is not
avaiable fallback to use the html pages. So we still want to
ship the (auto generated) html pages in an install.
This commit readds them and adds xmlto as build-dep so that
it all works inside a clean chroot.

Fix the building out-of-tree (#189)
* Fix the building out-of-tree:
Added the missing $(srcdir) to the image file glob definitions in various makefile.am files.
This fixes the incorrect paths generated by autoconf in out-of-tree building cases.
* Fix the building out-of-tree:
Added ${top_srcdir} to the include paths to accommodate for some test source code files having the include folder names in the #include statements.
This fixes the include files not found errors in out-of-tree building cases.

quick filter: Hide only when apt-xapian-index is unavailable
Previously the widget wouldn't be displayed on first run as epected since
the xapian database doesn't exist yet at this point.

Revive "quick filter" by using apt-xapian-index directly without ept
Users report the removal of the libept dependency caused loss of the "quick
filter" bar which, reportedly, has better usability than Edit>Search
feature for some users due to better relevancy of results.
(Eg. try "apt" Search will return aapt as the first result whereas quick
filter will return "apt" as first result as expected)
It seems libept was hastily removed from Debian because of overall
deprecation of debbugs, however here in synaptic none of the debbugs parts
of libept were really used only the transitive dependency on libxapian-dev
and two trivial API functions for xapian database handling where relevant.
This commit refactors the code to depend on libxapian-dev directly and
pulls in the trivial code to find the apt-xapain-index database file.
See commit 21790e0263 ("Build without libept")
Closes: #1103351
