Michael Biebl dd33485025 build-sys: Normalize paths of configure options
Strip trailing slashes from options such as --with-rootprefix, so that building
with rootprefix="/" results in paths like "/lib" instead of "//lib".

Also handle paths such as "/usr/" gracefully.

Use m4/ax_normalize_path.m4 from the autoconf-archive project, which is now
included in our tree as per usual practices in using autoconf-archive macros.

Tested with the following configure options:
  ./configure \
        --with-rootprefix=/ \
        --with-rootlibdir=/lib64/ \
        --prefix=/usr/ \
        --libdir=/lib/ \
        --with-bashcompletiondir=/bash-completion/completions/

(The "prefix" and "libdir" are already automatically normalized by Autoconf,
this command is testing the others.)

Compared the config.log and resulting trees (in particular man pages) to
confirm double slashes were not present in the latter.

Also tested that a configuration using default options is not affected and that
`make distcheck` still works as expected.

# SYNOPSIS
#
# AX_NORMALIZE_PATH(VARNAME, [REFERENCE_STRING])
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
# Perform some cleanups on the value of $VARNAME (interpreted as a path):
#
# - empty paths are changed to '.'
# - trailing slashes are removed
# - repeated slashes are squeezed except a leading doubled slash '//'
# (which might indicate a networked disk on some OS).
#
# REFERENCE_STRING is used to turn '/' into '\' and vice-versa: if
# REFERENCE_STRING contains some backslashes, all slashes and backslashes
# are turned into backslashes, otherwise they are all turned into slashes.
#
# This makes processing of DOS filenames quite easier, because you can
# turn a filename to the Unix notation, make your processing, and turn it
# back to original notation.
#
# filename='A:\FOO\\BAR\'
# old_filename="$filename"
# # Switch to the unix notation
# AX_NORMALIZE_PATH([filename], ["/"])
# # now we have $filename = 'A:/FOO/BAR' and we can process it as if
# # it was a Unix path. For instance let's say that you want
# # to append '/subpath':
# filename="$filename/subpath"
# # finally switch back to the original notation
# AX_NORMALIZE_PATH([filename], ["$old_filename"])
# # now $filename equals to 'A:\FOO\BAR\subpath'
#
# One good reason to make all path processing with the unix convention is
# that backslashes have a special meaning in many cases. For instance
#
# expr 'A:\FOO' : 'A:\Foo'
#
# will return 0 because the second argument is a regex in which
# backslashes have to be backslashed. In other words, to have the two
# strings to match you should write this instead:
#
# expr 'A:\Foo' : 'A:\\Foo'
#
# Such behavior makes DOS filenames extremely unpleasant to work with. So
# temporary turn your paths to the Unix notation, and revert them to the
# original notation after the processing. See the macro
# AX_COMPUTE_RELATIVE_PATHS for a concrete example of this.
#
# REFERENCE_STRING defaults to $VARIABLE, this means that slashes will be
# converted to backslashes if $VARIABLE already contains some backslashes
# (see $thirddir below).
#
# firstdir='/usr/local//share'
# seconddir='C:\Program Files\\'
# thirddir='C:\home/usr/'
# AX_NORMALIZE_PATH([firstdir])
# AX_NORMALIZE_PATH([seconddir])
# AX_NORMALIZE_PATH([thirddir])
# # $firstdir = '/usr/local/share'
# # $seconddir = 'C:\Program Files'
# # $thirddir = 'C:\home\usr'
