Use libtoolize --force to ensure it updates m4 directory with the
latest files. Add an option "release" to the autogen.sh script that
checks the versions of the input tools, so that we know they are always
using the latest version for each release.
Using autoconf 2.71 and automake 1.16.5 the CFLAGS from
CC_CHECK_CFLAGS_APPEND does not get set in the Makefile without AC_SUBST
causing compilation to fail on Solaris due to missing -std=gnu89
It was reported that the addition of that file without adding an
exception to m4/.gitignore breaks the tarball autotools build because
the file isn't distributed.

Using AC_CHECK_LIB ignores symbols already provided by
other libraries, or in other words it links libuv against
libraries that it does not need.
Attempts to remove specific libraries were met with arguments
that older libc versions would still require them.[0]
Fix this by using AC_SEARCH_LIBS instead of AC_CHECK_LIB while
using AX_PTHREAD for POSIX threads.

The existing probes, all two of them, cause a great deal of pain for
people trying to build libuv on Linux because of SystemTap's dtrace(1)
utilitity not understanding the -xnolibs flag.
We could hack around that but it's easier to just remove the probes:
they are largely useless and unused while still needing a lot of
supporting infrastructure. This commit removes 200 lines of code
and configuration.
Refs joyent/libuv#1478.
Switch to the build tool everyone loves to hate. The Makefile has
served us well over the years but it's been acquiring more and more
features that autotools gives us for free, like easy static+shared
library building, sane install targets, and so on.
This commit drops MinGW support. If there is demand for it, we'll
re-add it.
