configure: search a sturdy POSIX shell to be used in the testsuite
* configure.ac: Add code (partially inspired to checks in gnulib's
'tests/init.sh') to search for a good-enough, not-buggy POSIX/XSI
shell to be used in our testsuite. Accordingly AC_SUBSTitute the
variable 'AM_TEST_RUNNER_SHELL'.
* NEWS: Update.
