Comment(by nickm):

 An interesting issue. From a certain point of view, --disable-asciidoc
 doesn't make any sense for use with "make distcheck", since without
 asciidoc you _can't_ in fact generate the .1.in files that need to go in a
 proper Tor source distribution, so it's no surprise when a later attempt
 to build that distribution fails.

 But of course, "make distcheck" isn't just for checking if you can make a
 good distribution vis-a-vis documentation; it's also good for checking
 lots of other build issues, and it would be  neat if it mostly worked
 without asciidoc.

 To fix the immediate issue here, all we have to do is make the .1.txt
 files go into EXTRA_DIST whether USE_ASCIIDOC is true or not.  But make
 distcheck with --disable-asciidoc will still fail, since the .1.in files
 won't exist in the distribution, and the test build won't know  to use
 --disable-asciidoc
