Disable gtk-doc unconditionally, and disable static by default

libnice cannot find gtk-doc on Platform.LINUX because it searches for gtk-doc.pc in configure, which Cerbero's pkg-config cannot find because it doesn't search the system path (for good reasons). There are three solutions to this:

1) Disable gtk-doc in libnice
2) Make pkg-config look inside /usr/share/pkgconfig for arch-independent pkg-config files (this goes against the purpose of bug 738916)
3) Build gtk-doc as part of build-tools on Linux

Easiest is (1) since we don't ship documentation anyway. The attached patch does this. It also fixes another bug where libnice was installing a useless static plugin into lib/gstreamer-1.0 which confuses libtool during static linking.

The question is ... do we need to build docs for libnice on cerbero for now ?

    libnice: Disable gtk-doc unconditionally, and disable static by default
    
    gtk-doc support needs the .pc file, which isn't inside Cerbero and causes
    a build failure.
    
    Static plugin libraries should only be installed by the -static recipe.
    libnice.a is still needed inside libnice.recipe, though.
