- autoreconf already do all the jobs and detections, we don't need to run manually
  multiples binaries
- Remove obsolete checks/warnings we are doing for libtoolize, all our
  components have been ported
- Simply run autoreconf with good options should be enough for
  everything
- We still need to run intltoolize and gtkdocize manually to support
  autotool 2.69
- This fix issue #42

- They are obsolete since 2.69, and 2.70 now warn about it
- Bump minimal autoconf to 2.69 (available since 2012)
- AC_HEADER_STDC is not needed anymore: https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.70/html_node/Particular-Headers.html

- And update configure.ac syntax

No need to add the rule to Makefile.am when configure itself can
generate the file.

Add an XDT_VERSION_INIT help macro that will define a set of version
macros using esyscmd so we no lnger need to use configure.ac.in to
perpare the version string for AC_INIT.

XDT_VERSION_INIT(SEMVER, [TAG] will set the following macros:
  - xdt_version
  - xdt_version_major
  - xdt_version_minor
  - xdt_version_micro
  - xdt_version_tag
  - xdt_version_build
  - xdt_debug_default

Example usage:

XDT_VERSION_INIT([4.15.3],[git])
AC_INIT([xfce4-someproject], [xdt_version()])
...
XDT_FEATURE_DEBUG([xdt_debug_default])

- Migrated from the old-csource
- Needed to completely remove exo-csource from exo

- This way, we don't need to provide a README file, now that we start to
  switch to README.md for markdown readme on gitlab
- "[..] differences between the gnu and foreign flavours is
  that the former requires the presence of a number of files in the
top-level of the projects": https://autotools.io/automake/options.html
- It also stop warning when using GNU make syntax, but we already
  mandate gnu make, so it's not a problem

- Remove useless macros: m4macros/xdt-python.m4 and m4macros/xdt-xfce.m4
are not used
- Update URLs
- Remove xdt-commit, used to generate Changelog, now done via make
distcheck
