    tools: honour --libdir when it is passed to ./configure · 4282ee8d

    Currently shared libraries are automatically installed into /usr/lib
    or /usr/lib64, depending on the supplied --prefix value and
    $(XEN_TARGET_ARCH). Some systems, like recent Debian and Ubuntu releases,
    do not use /usr/lib64, but instead /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu.
    
    With this change, packagers can supply the desired location for shared
    libraries on the ./configure command line. Packagers need to note that
    the default behaviour on 64-bit Linux systems will be to install shared
    libraries in /usr/lib, not /usr/lib64, unless a --libdir value is provided
    to ./configure.
    
    Additionally, the libfsimage plugins are now loaded explicitly from
    $LIBDIR/fs, removing platform-based decision trees in code.

    [ ijc -- resolve rejects in configure by rerunning autogen.sh. Dropped changes
    to remove m4/default_lib.m4 and update m4/pkg.m4 since they cause LIBDIR=/lib
    instead of /usr/lib. Reran ./autogen.sh after that too ]
