Handle the emacs-{gtk,lucid,nox} doc dir transition manually

Before the unversioning, these packages were in a different source
package (emacs-defaults) and were arch all.  Since
dpkg-mainscript-helper can't hande "all to any" transitions
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=813455), clean up
manually in the preinsts.

Thanks to Sven Joachim for reporting the problem and indentifying the
underlying cause.

Closes: 905555
