    build: add autoconf to replace custom checks in tools/check · bfa8db13

    Added autotools magic to replace custom check scripts. The previous
    checks have been ported to autoconf, and some additional ones have
    been added (plus the suggestions from running autoscan). Two files are
    created as a result from executing configure script, config/Tools.mk
    and config.h.
    
    conf/Tools.mk is included by tools/Rules.mk, and contains most of the
    options previously defined in .config, that can now be set passing
    parameters or defining environment variables when executing configure
    script.
    
    config.h is only used by libxl/xl to detect yajl_version.h.
    
    [ tools/config.sub and config.guess copied from
      autotools-dev 20100122.1 from Debian squeeze i386,
      which is GPLv2.
    
      tools/configure generated using the included ./autogen.sh
      which ran autoconf 2.67-2 from Debian squeeze i386.  autoconf
      is GPLv3+ but has a special exception for the autoconf output;
      this exception applies to us and exempts us from complying
      with GPLv3+ for configure, which is good as Xen is GPL2 only.
