TAP driver: no need to invoke AC_PROG_AWK directly
It is already required by AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE anyway. * doc/automake.texi: Adjust examples. * t/tap-doc2.sh: Adjust documentation-tracking test. * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Explicitly tell that the AC_PROG_AWK requirement is also needed whenever the TAP driver is used.
