* PHP-7.1: [ci skip] Update NEWS Fix #77035: The phpize and ./configure create redundant .deps file
The `.deps` file(s) was once used by Automake and created to write dependencies to it. The file creation has been removed via the commit 779c11af21cf8a627b8f2f2edef9e9073c76ed94. The phpize and ./configure script create a redundant .deps file in a PECL extension directory which might cause confusions why is it used. Today it is no longer relevant so this redundant artefact can be removed in the phpize configure script.
This patch adds missing newlines, trims multiple redundant final newlines into a single one, and trims redundant leading newlines. According to POSIX, a line is a sequence of zero or more non-' <newline>' characters plus a terminating '<newline>' character. [1] Files should normally have at least one final newline character. C89 [2] and later standards [3] mention a final newline: "A source file that is not empty shall end in a new-line character, which shall not be immediately preceded by a backslash character." Although it is not mandatory for all files to have a final newline fixed, a more consistent and homogeneous approach brings less of commit differences issues and a better development experience in certain text editors and IDEs.

This patch syncs and bumps the minimum required version of Autoconf for the `phpize.m4` script and the main `configure.ac` from previously mixed 2.64 and 2.59 to 2.68. At the time of this writing Autoconf 2.63 is still the version on Centos 6, however by the PHP 7.3 release current systems out there should all have pretty much updated Autoconf versions to 2.64+ at least. Centos 7 already has Autoconf 2.69, for example. This provides more options to update and get current with the *nix build system and also avoids broken builds in certain cases as pointed out in the relevant discussion [1]. Additionally, phpize also already provides the `AX_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAG` Autoconf Archive m4 file that has Autoconf 2.64 minimum requirement. Autoconf 2.68 was released in 2010, 8 years ago, relative to this patch. [1] https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/3562
