Update to autotools used by binutils

Update to autotools used by binutils

[Alan Modra]

When cgen source is installed in the top source directory of
binutils-gdb and configuring with --enable-maintainer-mode
--enable-cgen-maint=yes it is somewhat difficult to regenerate cgen
files without differences due to using different autotools.
Particularly so since the generated files in the git repository don't
all use the same autotools.

This patch fixes that by modernising the source a little and
regenerating with autoconf-2.69 and automake-1.15.1.

Note that doc/stamp-vti and doc/version.texi contain dates taken from
your checked out doc/cgen.texi file time stamp.  So in order to
regenerate these files consistently it is necessary to
  touch --date=xxx doc/cgen.texi
with the date taken from the last doc/cgen.texi commit.  With that
done, only stamp-vti needs updating (to a copy of version.texi).

Hi Alan,

your changelog mentions several regenerated files, but the patch misses them.
I had to run aclocal and automake manually in order to get rid of calls to
aclocal-1.11.

Christian

We normally don't post regenerated files for binutils and gcc.  I did
the same for this patch without checking whether the cgen project had
a policy in this regard.

Patch now committed.
