vala: AM_PROG_VALAC should not produce an error for tool-old valac
This change fixes automake bug#12688.
In the AM_PROG_VALAC macro, when the optional parameter specifying the
minimum release number is not provided, and/or if the Vala compiler is
not found, then there is a _warning_ message.
On the other hand, when the version number is specified and if the Vala
compiler is too old, there is an _error_ message.
This error message is problematic, because for a tarball, the Vala
compiler is not required: the generated C code is included in the
tarball. So if a user wants to compile the software, he shouldn't
need the valac program with the right version.

compile: support libfoo.a naming when wrapping Microsoft tools
There is a future plan to provide some means to have Automake
create static libraries that are named differently depending
on the system [1].
The background is that everyone has always named static libraries
libfoo.a, except the Redmond crowd who names them foo.lib, and
you have to jump through hoops to have Automake create libraries
named foo.lib in the land of non-GNU Windows while still creating
libfoo.a everywhere else.
However, there is probably no sane way to accomplish that system
dependent naming discussed in [1] without user intervention,
which makes it necessary to support the classic libfoo.a naming
when using Microsoft tools in the best possible way, for the
benefit of all projects today and for future projects not
opting in to whatever scheme is selected for the problem at
hand.

config headers: don't emit rules for headers not generated by autoheader
This change fixed automake bug#12495.
Even if an AC_CONFIG_HEADERS invocation is passed a list of several files
as the first argument, only the first one of those file is considered by
autoheader for automatic generation of the corresponding '.in' template.
This is done on purpose, and is clearly documented in the Autoconf manual,
which (as of the 2.69 version) reads something like this:
The autoheader program searches for the first invocation of
AC_CONFIG_HEADERS in configure sources to determine the name of
the template. If the first call of AC_CONFIG_HEADERS specifies
more than one input file name, autoheader uses the first one.
That is, an invocation like:
AC_CONFIG_HEADERS([config.h config2.h])
should cause autoheader to generate only a 'config.h.in' template,
and not also a 'config2.h.in' one.
Accordingly, automake, when tracing AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, should generate
remake rules only for the template associated to the first input file
name passed to that macro. In some situations, however, automake failed
to properly limit itself in this way; for example, with an input like:
AC_CONFIG_HEADERS([config.h sub/foo.h])
in configure.ac, and with the 'sub' directory listed in the SUBDIRS
variable of the top-level Makefile, automake would erroneously generate
in 'sub/Makefile.in' a rule to remake the 'foo.h.in' template by
invoking autoheader.
This issue was likely introduced in commit 'Release-1-8-23-g262bb92'
of 2004-01-05.

tests: fix a timestamp race in python tests
Fixes automake bug#12210.
* t/python-missing.sh: Call aclocal and autoconf with the "--force"
option. We need this because, on fast machines, it's possible for
'mypy.m4' and 'aclocal.m4' to end up with the same timestamp as configure,
so autoconf (without the "--force" options) wouldn't bother to rebuild it,
and would just rerun the previous AM_PATH_PYTHON test, succeeding rather
than failing as expected.
