btrfs-progs: docs: placeholder for contents.rst file on older sphinx version

Older versions of sphinx require the contents.rst file otherwise the
build fails, while new versions don't need it and use index.rst.

Sphinx error:

master file btrfs-progs/Documentation/contents.rst not found
make[1]: *** [Makefile:37: man] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:502: build-Documentation] Error 2

This build error is seen on version 1.7.6-3.

To make it work on old and new versions create a placeholder empty file
but make it a phony build target so new sphinx does not see it and
report as not in any TOC.
