Fix build as subproject without building documentation

* meson.build: If mm-common-get is not found in maintainer-mode
with 'required: false', try with 'required: true'.
Don't try to use tag_file, if documentation is not built.
* docs/docs/reference/meson.build: Don't use variables from modules
that don't define doxytagfile. These are subprojects that don't build
their documentation.

Fixes #71
