The `ls *.po | awk ..` pattern is generally not recommended[0]. Replace
it with a tiny for loop with basename. Use POSIX `tr`[1] to delete the
trailing end-of-line, since `echo -n` is not specified in POSIX[2]. This
also removes the need for awk check.

Make the LINGUAS argument optional and let it be auto generated from
po/*.po if is not specified.

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

Remove --build and --host since they are only needed for crosscompile.
Native builds don't need those and they will not work in case someone
tries build on 32bit.

Also add envronment variables for libdir and libexecdir so the
debian/ubuntu specific lib(exec)dir can be overridden.

Use all cores from `nproc` rather than hardcode parallel jobs to 8.

Allow overide this via environment variable NPROC:
  `docker build --build-arg NPROC=2 ...`

avoid git warning about 'detached HEAD' state by creating a git branch
for the build.

- 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

- xdt-csource will replace exo-csource (projects using exo-csource needs to be updated)
- The work started in issue #6449 but the full migration has never been done.
- This way, we do not need to check for exo even when exo is not
required.

- Also simplify a bit the XDT_AUTOGEN_REQUIRED_VERSION detection
- Remove the check of the unused doc submodule

- 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
