Prefer https: URLs
In Gnulib, Emacs, etc. we are changing ftp: and http: URLs to use
https:, to discourage man-in-the-middle attacks when downloading
software. The attached patch propagates these changes upstream to
Automake. This patch does not affect files that Automake is
downstream of, which I'll patch separately.
Althouth the resources are not secret, plain HTTP is vulnerable to
malicious routers that tamper with responses from GNU servers,
and this sort of thing is all too common when people in some other
countries browse US-based websites. See, for example:
Aceto G, Botta A, Pescapé A, Awan MF, Ahmad T, Qaisar
S. Analyzing internet censorship in Pakistan. RTSI
2016. https://dx.doi.org/10.1109/RTSI.2016.7740626
HTTPS is not a complete solution here, but it can be a significant
help. The GNU project regularly serves up code to users, so we should
take some care here.

getopt: relax version requirement for perl
* lib/Automake/Getopt.pm: Require perl 5.6.0, not 5.6.2: the former
is enough. See also commit 'v1.11-2054-g7df05a0' on master (dated
04-03-2012).

maint: require perl 5.6 throughout
That version of perl is quite old already, so it should be OK to
require it. More importantly, it is the older perl versions the
developers can currently use for testing, thus it's safer and more
honest to just require it throughout. And anyway, we were already
requiring it in Automake::Getopt, which implied that both automake
and aclocal wouldn't have worked in practice with an older perl
version.
See also the discussion related to automake bug#10925.
* lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Adjusted to require perl 5.6.
* lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Likewise.

pm: do not quote `like this', as per GCS recommendation
This patch converts the internal perl modules used by automake and
aclocal to the use of new quoting format 'like this' or "like this"
rather than `like this'.
* lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
lib/Automake/Condition.pm, lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm,
lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm, lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm,
lib/Automake/General.pm, lib/Automake/Item.pm,
lib/Automake/Rule.pm, lib/Automake/Getopt.pm,
lib/Automake/Options.pm, lib/Automake/Struct.pm,
lib/Automake/VarDef.pm, lib/Automake/Variable.pm,
lib/Automake/Version.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm: Update and
adjust quoting format throughout, in comments and diagnostic.
Some minor related rewordings and reformatting since we are
at it.

cmdline parsing: move into a dedicated perl module
With this change, we delegate most of the automake and aclocal code
for command-line options parsing to a new module "Automake::Getopt".
This allows better code sharing between automake and aclocal, and
also with Autoconf, which will sync the new module from us. See
also autoconf commit 'v2.68-120-gf4be358' (2012-01-17, "getopt: new
Autom4te::Getopt module"), and this mailing list discussion:
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2012-01/msg00033.html>
This change might interact with the behaviour described in automake
bug#7434; for example, starting from now, "automake -Wfoo --version"
will cause automake to emit diagnostic like "unknown warning
category 'foo'" before actually printing the version number and
exiting. This is not a big deal in practice, and the code sharing
and simplifications introduced by this patch is certainly worth it.
Still, we should revisited the issue in the future.
* lib/Automake/Getopt.pm: New module, basically a slightly-edited
copy of the 'lib/Autom4te/Getopt.pm' file from the autoconf devel
repository (commit v2.68-120-gf4be358). It defines and exports ...
(parse_options): ... this new function.
* automake.in (parse_arguments): Use the new function.
* aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Likewise.
* lib/Automake/Makefile.am (dist_perllib_DATA): Add the new file.
* tests/getopt.test: Remove.
* tests/list-of-tests.mk: Update.
