init.m4: add probe to check "rm -f" without args work See automake bug#10828. POSIX will say in a future version that running "rm -f" with no argument is OK: <http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=542>). We want to be able to make that assumption in our Makefile recipes. So we introduce an aggressive probe to check that the usage we want is actually supported "in the wild" to an acceptable degree. * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Implement the probe. To make any issue more visible, cause the running configure to be aborted by default if the 'rm' program in use doesn't match our expectations; the user can still override this though, by setting the ACCEPT_INFERIOR_RM_PROGRAM environment variable to "yes". * t/spy-rm.tap: Update heading comments. * t/rm-f-probe.sh: New test. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add it. * PLANS/rm-f-without-args.txt: Adjust.
