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.

compile: rewrite AC_PROG_CC with AM_PROG_CC_C_O contents
This is a much simpler rewrite than the one we attempted in the past,
and that was later removed by commit 'v1.13.1d-137-g32eb770' of
2013-05-11 (compile: avoid AC_PROG_CC messy rewrite).
Not only this change simplifies the code a little, but has the welcome
collateral effect of making automatic dependency tracking work better
with compilers that doesn't grasp the '-c' and '-o' options together.
Issues in that setup have been caught by several failures in the target
'check-no-cc-c-o'.
Unfortunately, this change has less welcome collateral effects:
1. AM_PROG_AR must now be called *after* AC_PROG_CC;
2. Autoconf emits extra warnings when used with Automake-generated
aclocal.m4.
These are unacceptable regressions for a release, but since we are
going to fix them soon enough in a follow-up patch (surely to be
applied before Automake 1.14 is released) we don't worry too much.
* m4/init.m4: Redefine AC_PROG_CC early, to automatically invoke
AM_PROG_CC_C_O as well. Accordingly, drop now-unneeded "automagical"
AM_PROG_CC_C_O expansion at later time (which took place thanks to
a AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE call).
* m4/minuso.m4 (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Ensure the expansion of the body
of this macro takes place with C as "current Autoconf language" (use
AC_LANG_PUSH/AC_LANG_POP).
* m4/ar-lib.m4 (AM_PROG_AR): Likewise. Also, require this macro to
be expanded *after* AC_PROG_CC (so that any rewrite of $CC, if required,
has already taken place).
* t/add-missing.tap: Adjust to avoid spurious failures.
* t/aclocal-deps.sh: Likewise, by having AM_PROG_AR called *after*
AC_PROG_CC.
* t/subobj-clean-lt-pr10697.sh: Likewise.
* t/alloca.sh: Likewise.
* t/condlib.sh: Likewise.
* t/discover.sh: Likewise.
* t/objc-megademo.sh: Likewise.
* t/ccnoco.sh: Extend a little.
* t/ccnoco-deps.sh: New test.
* t/ccnoco-lib.sh: Likewise.
* t/ccnoco-lt.sh: Likewise.
* t/list-of-tests.mk: Add them.
