Formally obsolete AC_CONFIG_HEADER (#105403)
This macro was replaced by AC_CONFIG_HEADERS many years ago (before
the beginning of the VCS history) and isn’t even documented, but we
never got around to making autoupdate notice it. Problem reported
*in 2006* by jensseidel@users.sf.net.
There was one use of AC_CONFIG_HEADER in our source tree, which is
converted. Also, to avoid confusing people reading old NEWS or TODO
entries, all mentions of AC_CONFIG_HEADER therein are also replaced
with AC_CONFIG_HEADERS.
* lib/autoconf/status.m4 (AC_CONFIG_HEADER): Make an AU_ALIAS for
AC_CONFIG_HEADERS.
