tests: improve 'pkg-config' requirement
This improves (and unifies among different tests) the detection of
both the 'pkg-config' program and m4 macros provided by it; they are
needed in particular by tests on Vala support.
Before this, some Vala-related tests were failing spuriously when the
pkg-config program was available but the macros from pkg.m4 were not
made explicitly available in ACLOCAL_PATH. These tests were:
vala-mix vala-mix2 vala-parallel vala-vapi vala-vpath

depcomp: remove 'icc' depmode, add 'tcc' one
According to the comments in the now-removed test 'depcomp5.test' (removed
by commit 'v1.11-1829-g5066c1b' of 2012-02-08, "tests: improve and rework
tests on dependency tracking") "icc 8.0 and greater understand gcc options,
so depmode is set to gcc". According to Wikipedia, the 8.0 version of the
Intel C compiler has been released in December 2003, that is, almost nine
yeas ago. So we can remove explicit support for icc 7.x from the depcomp
script.
Since our support for tcc has so far been relied on the icc depmode, we
must write a new explicit 'tcc' depmode. That is easy to do, since we can
rely on the simpler and better-specified format of tcc-specified makefiles;

new Autom4te::Getopt module").

have had to add something like:
ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4/dir1 -I m4/dir2
in Makefile.am, in addition to the
AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS([m4/dir1 m4/dir2])
in configure.ac. Now, the AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS call is enough.

<http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=12845>
* aclocal.in ($ac_config_macro_dirs_fallback): New global variable,
contains m4 code to issue a fallback definition of AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS
as an alias for the private macro _AM_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS.
(trace_used_macros): Handle and trace that macro. Do some code
reorganization and fix related botched indentation while at it.
(write_aclocal): Output '$ac_config_macro_dirs_fallback' early in
the generated aclocal.m4.
* t/aclocal-macrodirs.tap: Run unconditionally, even with older
autoconf.
* t/subpkg-macrodir.sh: Likewise.
* doc/automake.texi: Document only AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS, rather
than AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR.

aclocal: trace AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR_TRACE
This is now the documented way, and indeed the only correct way, to
support AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR and AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS in third-party
tools. See autoconf commit v2.69-45-g5269030 of 2012-11-09,
"AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS: improve tracing and add sanity checks".
* aclocal.in (trace_used_macros): Trace 'AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR_TRACE'
rather than 'AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS'. We still have to trace
'AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR' explicitly though, for compatibility with
Autoconf versions before 2.70.
* t/aclocal-macrodirs.tap: Enhance w.r.t. precedence of arguments
in one and several AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS calls.

aclocal: avoid spurious warnings from autom4te with AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS
When some macro expanded in configure.ac calls AC_REQUIRE on another
macro that is defined in one of the local m4 macro dirs specified
with AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS, aclocal prints spurious warnings like:
configure.ac:4: warning: MY_BAR is m4_require'd but not m4_defun'd
configure.ac:3: MY_FOO is expanded from...
Such warnings come from autom4te, and are due to the fact that the
*first* autom4te invocation issued by aclocal is not yet able to
"see" the m4 macro definitions in the local m4 dirs (because they
can be looked for only after the AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS call has been
traced, and tracing it requires running autom4te).
To allow us to work around this issue, autom4te has introduced a new
"witness" macro 'm4_require_silent_probe', that, when defined, allows
us to silence that particular kind of warnings (and only it).

* aclocal.in (trace_used_macros): Pre-define the special macro
'm4_require_silent_probe' when invoking autom4te.

aclocal: smash newlines in arguments of traced macros
This change fixes the existing issues with AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS
containing newlines:
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2012-11/msg00000.html>
Likely, it will also allow a less involved implementation of the
AM_EXTRA_RECURSIVE_TARGETS macro (but that is left for potential
follow-up patches).
* aclocal.in (trace_used_macros): When calling autom4te, pass its
'--trace' option an argument containing '${::}%' rather than '$1'.
According to the autoconf manual (as of version 2.69), that will expand
to the concatenation, with the '::' string, of all the arguments passed
to a macro, with all newline characters in such arguments smashed.
Related adjustments when handling the macro AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS, to
ensure leading whitespace in its argument are handled correctly.
* t/aclocal-macrodirs.tap ("AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS: extra whitespace"):
No longer declare it as an xfailing test.
