Colin Watson 35b909062e gnulib: Upgrade Gnulib and switch to bootstrap tool
Upgrade Gnulib files to 20190105.

It's much easier to maintain GRUB's use of portability support files
from Gnulib when the process is automatic and driven by a single
configuration file, rather than by maintainers occasionally running
gnulib-tool and committing the result.  Removing these
automatically-copied files from revision control also removes the
temptation to hack the output in ways that are difficult for future
maintainers to follow.  Gnulib includes a "bootstrap" program which is
designed for this.

The canonical way to bootstrap GRUB from revision control is now
"./bootstrap", but "./autogen.sh" is still useful if you just want to
generate the GRUB-specific parts of the build system.

GRUB now requires Autoconf >= 2.63 and Automake >= 1.11, in line with
Gnulib.

Gnulib source code is now placed in grub-core/lib/gnulib/ (which should
not be edited directly), and GRUB's patches are in
grub-core/lib/gnulib-patches/.  I've added a few notes to the developer
manual on how to maintain this.

Colin Watson 7e23437df3 build: Use pkg-config to find FreeType
pkg-config is apparently preferred over freetype-config these days (see
the BUGS section of freetype-config(1)).  pkg-config support was added
to FreeType in version 2.1.5, which was released in 2003, so it should
comfortably be available everywhere by now.

We no longer need to explicitly substitute FREETYPE_CFLAGS and
FREETYPE_LIBS, since PKG_CHECK_MODULES does that automatically.

Fixes Debian bug #887721.

Andrey Borzenkov dcecae1a49 reintroduce BUILD_LDFLAGS for the cross-compile case
This allows providing separate LDFLAGS for build and host environments, which
are not necessary the same for cross-compile case. In particular, it allows
building host programs statically to not depend on presence of libraries at
run-time (e.g. MinGW DLLs on Windows) while continue to use default dynamic
linking at build time.

Also fix obsolete comments in confgure.ac - we do use different environment
for build and host now.
