    gnulib-tool: fix tests of 'extensions' module

    This complements f8fe25fab60e3c687a124 commit.

    * gnulib-tool (func_emit_pre_early_macros): New function, it wraps
    emitting of initial gl_EARLY macros.
    (func_import, func_create_testdir): All dumps of gl_PROG_AR_RANLIB
    replaced with func_emit_pre_early_macros call.

    gnulib-common.m4: fix gl_PROG_AR_RANLIB/AM_PROG_AR clash

    The gl_PROG_AR_RANLIB (it is always called by gl_EARLY) sets AR
    and ARFLAGS variables.  Doing this unconditionally could break
    later Automake's AM_PROG_AR invocation (at least it's
    AC_CHECK_TOOLS call to detect correct 'ar' binary).

    Original purpose of the gl_PROG_AR_RANLIB was only to handle the
    Amsterdam Compiler Kit, so make the previous code to have effects
    only on ACK, and rather automatically call the Automake's
    AM_PROG_AR as soon as possible to decide other cases.

    * m4/gnulib-common.m4 (gl_PROG_AR_RANLIB): AC_BEFORE AM_PROG_AR.
    Set the AR/ARFLAGS to ACK defaults OR call AM_PROG_AR.  If neither
    is possible, keep setting AR/ARFLAGS to reasonable defaults.
    * gnulib-tool (func_import): Put the gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS
    right before gl_PROG_AR_RANLIB into gnulib-comp.m4 (if the
    'extensions' module is used.
    * modules/extensions (configure.ac-early): Remove as this snippet
    is added to gnulib-comp.m4 earlier anyway.
