Autotools build improvement

[mcuee]

1) libreadline status
As of now, for auto-tools build, the presence of libreadline is not correct. It always says libreadline is not present even though libreadline is present and the final binary is linked to libreadline.

I tried to fix it last time but it caused issues with macOS terminal mode and I have to revert the following PR.

• Update configure.ac to reflect HAVE_READLINE statue #1280
• Avrdude terminal history broken on macOS #1296

2) to reduce the warnings:

• Autotools build improvement -- to reduce the warnings #1665

Reference: many warnings when using autotools build. It is good to fix or at least reduce the warnings.

• Automatically determine Autoconf package version from cmake package version #1663 (comment)

3) to fix NetBSD Autotools build

• Autotools build improvement -- to support NetBSD #1669
  Right now the build is broken for NetBSD as the script can not detect the libraries.

Configuration summary:
----------------------
DON'T HAVE libusb
DON'T HAVE libusb_1_0
DON'T HAVE libftdi1
DON'T HAVE libftdi
DON'T HAVE libreadline

4) to fix OpenBSD Autotools build
#1670

Right now there is an error in the last step.

Warning: target ./libavrdude.a (prerequisite of: avrdude) does not have any command (BUG)
  CCLD     avrdude
cc: error: no such file or directory: './libavrdude.a'

@mcuee Thanks for proactively starting issues on things we'd like improved. Can we please use fewer issues: we can summarise what needs improved, eg, have one issue for improving autotools build (listing the 4 aspects to improve) and one issue for improving documentation. It is unlikely we attract a number of people working in parallel on these issues (and for the autotools this is definitely not advisable). Also the new issue on jtag2updi improvement is kinda non-descript. I'd remove that for the time being or make it specific.

Ideally we never grow over a page of issues and discussions so we don't lose sight over things on the second page

@stefanrueger

Done.

@stefanrueger

I have trimmed down the number of issues and discussions to one page. Feel free to close those issues/discussions you think can be closed.

@mcuee
Brilliant, thank you!

The following issue should be present in autotools build as well.

• avrintel.h missing from installation #1683

The following issue should be present in autotools build as well.

* [avrintel.h missing from installation #1683](https://github.com/avrdudes/avrdude/issues/1683)

I will reflect in autoconf whatever comes out of the discussion over there.

[mcuee]

Remove the bug label now that the remaining portions are for enhancement.

[mcuee]

I think we can close this issue.
