[ng] compile: rename make variable CONFIG_HEADER -> AM_CONFIG_HEADERS
The automake-generated variable 'CONFIG_HEADER' has never been
documented, and it violates user namespace. So rename it to
'AM_CONFIG_HEADERS', to make it clear that it is owned by Automake.
We prefer that name to something that would sound more "private",
like 'am__config_headers', because there are possibly legitimate
usages of that variable on the user's part.
* automake.in: Do the rename. Also, don't bother explicitly
rejecting the setting of 'CONFIG_HEADER' as an anachronism:
that warning has been active so long that any still maintained
Makefile.am file should have stopped doing that long ago.
* NG-NEWS: Update.
* lib/am/remake-hdr.am: Update a comment.
* syntax-checks.mk (modern.CONFIG_HEADER): New, define to
'AM_CONFIG_HEADERS'.
