Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
python-ara could not be built reproducibly. There were a number of
issues when creating the docs:

 * Unless python3-ara was already installed (to /usr/bin, etc.), the
   example command-line programs couldn't be found in the PATH when
   generating the docs.
 * Ditto as before, but with the PYTHONPATH; it couldn't find "itself"
   when running, even if the Python scripts were found.
 * Missing python3-cliff dependency during the build.
 * Ignoring any warnings generated during the documentation build;
   the PyTz warnings included the current build path, rendering the
   package unreproducible.

Patch attached.
