Remove AC_FUNC_UTIME_NULL
Autoconf 2.59d (released in 2006) [1] started promoting several macros
as not relevant for newer systems, including the AC_FUNC_UTIME_NULL.
This macro checks if `utime(file, NULL)` sets file's timestamp to the
current time and defines the `HAVE_UTIME_NULL` symbol. This check was
relevant on very old systems (for example, 4.3BSD released in 1986) and
today can be omitted for systems with utime since it should be well
supported by now. [2]
