[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH] alfred: Add installation of the alfred-gpsd manpage

[Sven Eckelmann]

It is nice to have a manpage somewhere but the user is most likely more
interested in reading it from a familiar place. Installing it together with the
binary seems appropriate because then the user only has to call his/her prefered
manpage reader to get fast and easy access to information about everything the
alfred-gpsd binary provides.
