Historically we've allowed builds in the main src dir, but meson does
not support this. Explicitly force separate build dir in autotools to
align with meson. We must re-enable dependency tracking which the RPM
%configure macro turns off. Without this, the build dir doesn't get
the source directory tree mirrored.

The https:// protocol is much more reliably usable than git:// when
faced with unreasonably strict firewalls. The libvirt.org web server is
now setup to support the smart https:// protocol, which is just as fast
as git://, so change all the docs to use https://

Despite being a generated file, HACKING has been tracked in
the git repository along with actual source files. As far as
I'm aware, it's the only generated file for which that happens.
Times and times again, people[1] have committed changes to
the source file without refreshing the generated copy at the
same time.
The rationale for tracking the generated file is to help out
people who just cloned the git repository looking to contribue;
however, README-hacking already contains enough information to
get perspective contributors to a place where they can simply
look at docs/hacking.html instead.

We don't have a "README-valgrind" file.
So remove related description.

Requiring git 1.6.4, just for the optional GNULIB_SRCDIR support,
was too harsh. Resynchronize from gnulib.
* .gnulib: Import from latest gnulib.
* bootstrap: Re-synchronize from .gnulib/build-aux.
* bootstrap.conf: Drop git to 1.5.5.
* README-hacking: Document use of GNULIB_SRCDIR.
When "git pull" (or any other operation) brings in a new version of the
gnulib git submodule, you must rerun the autogen.sh script. With this
change, "make" now fails and tells you to run ./autogen.sh, when needed.
* autogen.sh: Maintain a new file, .git-module-status, containing
the current submodule status. If it doesn't exist or its content
is different from what "git submodule status" prints, then run
./bootstrap
* .gitignore: Add .git-module-status
* cfg.mk: Diagnose out of date submodule and fail.
* README-hacking: Update not to mention bootstrap.
* Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add .git-module-status,
so that "make maintainerclean" will remove it.
