help: Fix failing setup when manual directory is not available

Sunil Mohan Adapa requested to merge sunilmohan/freedombox:fix-help-init-fail into master

  • It is reported on the mailing list that first setup operation on the help app fails. The logs indicate that /usr/share/freedombox/manual directory is not present on the system. Although this situation does not occur on a normal installation, catch, log and ignore this error to be safe.

  • Also ensure that this static files component is added in post_init so that basic setup is not at all affected by it.

Tests:

  • In the development directory, move doc/manual to doc/manual.bak. Observe that the error message is printed during initialization but the process continues.

  • With the manual directory properly restored, the full help manual is displayed properly with images.
