[PATCH, applied] configure: Add option to disable abidb

[Dodji Seketeli <dodji@redhat.com>]

Hello,

While looking at packaging libabigail for EPEL8, it turned out abidb
requires python 3.9 for the type hints on function definitions.  Yet,
EPEL8 has an older python.

This patch adds a --disable-abidb option to configure to handle EPEL8.

	* configure.ac: Add a --disable-abidb option to configure to
	disable the abidb tool and related tests.

Signed-off-by: Dodji Seketeli <dodji@redhat.com>
Applied to the master branch.
