dist: remove support for shar and tarZ formats

See also discussion about automake wishlist bug#13324.

* lib/Automake/Options.pm: Give fatal errors (rather than warnings) if
the 'dist-shar' or 'dist-tarZ' options are used.
* lib/distdir.am: Remove the 'dist-tarZ' and 'dist-shar' targets, and
references to the '.tar.Z' and '.shar' archives.
* bin/automake.in (preprocess_file): Remove 'COMPRESS' and 'SHAR'
transforms.
(handle_dist): Remove lingering references to 'dist-tarZ' and 'dist-shar'
options.
* doc/automake.texi: Adjust, removing references to the removed targets
and distribution formats.
* t/dist-shar.sh: Adjust to expect fatal errors rather than warnings.
* t/dist-tarZ.sh: Likewise.
