news: document new 'subdir-objects' warning
* NEWS: Automake 1.14 will warn if a subdir source file is specified but the 'subdir-objects' option is not given. This is done to smooth the transition to Automake 2.0, which will unconditionally assume the behaviour now given only with the 'subdir-objects' option.

+ sub_foo_SOURCES = sub/main.c sub/bar.c

- Automake will automatically enhance the AC_PROG_CC autoconf macro
to make it check, at configure time, that the C compiler supports
the combined use of both the "-c -o" options. This "rewrite" of
