elisp: use suffix rules, get rid of 'elisp-comp' script (mostly a rewrite)
Motivated by automake bug#11806.
Traditionally, automake byte-compiled emacs-lisp '.el' files by invoking
'elisp-comp' on all of them in a bulk; this involved complex timestamping
and file-locking logic. It was also brittle in any slightly-unusual
setup, because 'elisp-comp' operated by copying all of the elisp files
to be compiled into a temporary sub-directory and compiling them in there,
the copying the resulting byte-compile files back in the build directory.
This patch removes all of that juggling and chicanery in favour of
defining a much simpler '.el.elc' suffix rule. Not only this is simpler,
but it also interacts better with "make -jN" calls, which are becoming
more and more common and useful on today's increasingly multicore systems.
* Makefile.am (dist_script_DATA): Remove 'elisp-comp'.
* automake.in (@common_files): Likewise.
(handle_emacs_lisp): Do not require 'elisp-comp'.
* doc/automake.texi: Remove references to 'elisp-comp'.
* lib/am/lisp.am: Define elisp compilation via a suffix rule; this
basically amounts to a complete re-write of the lisp byte-compilation
rules.
* lib/elisp-comp: Remove.
* t/add-missing.tap: Remove elisp-comp test.
* t/dist-auxdir-many-subdirs.sh: Remove reference to elisp-comp.
* t/primary-prefix-invalid-couples.tap: Likewise.
* t/primary-prefix-valid-couples.sh: Likewise.
* t/lisp4.sh: Remove reference to elc-stamp.
* t/lisp5.sh: Likewise.
* t/lisp6.sh: Likewise.
* t/lisp3.sh: Likewise. Also remove the recompilation check that
involves a (message) call.
* t/lisp7.sh: Remove check for "Warnings can be ignored". Remove
reference to elc-stamp.
* t/lisp8.sh: Likewise.
* t/lispdry.sh: Remove references to elc-stamp.
