Use complete configure.ac’s in testsuite.
Autoconf 2.70 will issue warnings if it encounters a configure.ac that doesn’t
call both AC_INIT and AC_OUTPUT.
Automake already issues warnings if it encounters a configure.ac that uses an
AM_ macro but doesn’t call AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE or AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile]).
In two places, the testsuite was tripping these warnings, leading to spurious
failures with Autoconf 2.70 betas.
* t/aminit-moreargs-deprecation.sh: Add AC_OUTPUT to test configure.ac.
* t/mkdirp-deprecation.sh: Use a complete test configure.ac, not a stub
containing only a use of AM_PROG_MKDIR_P.

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.

tests: remove exec bit from all of them ('micro' branch)
It gives the impression that they are directly runnable, as with
"./t/foo.sh", but it has been a while since that was the case. Today,
tests are runnable only through "make check" or "./runtest".
This change is for the 'micro' branch (automake 1.13.2a). It will
soon be followed by similar patches for the 'maint' branch (automake
1.13a) and the 'master' branch (automake 1.99a).
* t/*.sh, t/*.tap: Remove executable bit.
* maint.mk (sc_tests_executable): Remove.
(syntax_check_rules): Adjust.
* gen-testsuite-part: Set permissions of generated tests to
'444' (-r--r--r--), rather than 555 (-r-xr-xr-x).

tests: prefer including 'test-init.sh' rather than './defs'
This is a follow-up to today's commit v1.12.4-22-g0610fc8,
"tests: prepare to move ./defs to t/ax/test-init.sh"
* All tests: To run the common setup, use the command:
. test-init.sh
instead of the older, "historical" one:
. ./defs || exit 1
Note that the "|| exit 1" wasn't really useful, since the 'errexit'
shell flag is in effect in both './defs' and 'test-init.sh', and all
the known shells that are good enough to run the automake testsuite
do automatically exit with error when a sourced file cannot be found
(at least, they do so in non-interactive mode, which is the only
mode that concerns us in the testsuite).
* t/ax/tap-summary-aux.sh, t/ax/testsuite-summary-checks.sh: Likewise.
* gen-testsuite-part: Do the same in the generated tests.

AM_PROG_MKDIR_P: remove as obsolete, this time for good
This commit basically reverts v1.12.4-158-gdf23daf, re-instating
commit v1.12-20-g8a1c64f.
Support for the obsolescent 'AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' m4 macro has been
deprecated in the documentation and with runtime warnings since
Automake 1.12.1. Still, when we released Automake 1.13, we had
to delay that macro's removal, since at the time the last released
version of GNU gettext still AC_REQUIRE's AM_PROG_MKDIR_P via its
'intl.m4' and 'po.m4' files, which are pulled into *many* projects.
But it's now time to remove AM_PROG_MKDIR_P once and for all.
Projects still needing to work with older gettext releases will
be able to do so by adding a definition like
AC_DEFUN([AM_PROG_MKDIR_P], [AC_PROG_MKDIR_P([$@])])
to their 'acinclude.m4' file or to another local '*.m4' file.
* m4/mkdirp.m4: Delete.
* Makefile.am (dist_automake_ac_DATA): Remove it.
* automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Don't handle, nor warn about,
AM_PROG_MKDIR_P.
* doc/automake.texi (Obsolete Macros): Delete (it only spoke about
AM_PROG_MKDIR_P).
* t/gettext-macros.sh: Adjust.
* t/mkdirp-deprecation.sh: Delete.
* t/list-of-tests.mk: Don't list it.

compat: reinstate AM_PROG_MKDIR_P, for gettext
Do not remove AM_PROG_MKDIR_P just yet.
gettext (latest from git) still AC_REQUIRE's AM_PROG_MKDIR_P via its
intl.m4 and po.m4 files, which are pulled into *many* projects.
When I try to build one of those projects (coreutils) using the latest
from automake.git/master, I see this failure:
$ aclocal -I m4
configure.ac:477: warning: AM_PROG_MKDIR_P is m4_require'd \
but not m4_defun'd
m4/po.m4:23: AM_PO_SUBDIRS is expanded from...
m4/gettext.m4:57: AM_GNU_GETTEXT is expanded from...
configure.ac:477: the top level
That is because AM_PROG_MKDIR_P was removed (via commit
v1.12-20-g8a1c64f) in preparation for the next release of automake.
* NEWS: Remove the paragraph that announced the removal of
AM_PROG_MKDIR_P.
* Makefile.am (dist_automake_ac_DATA): Add m4/mkdirp.m4.
* m4/mkdirp.m4: Re-add file.
* t/mkdirp-deprecation.sh: Likewise.
* t/list-of-tests.mk: Add it.
* automake.in: Restore removed code, and adjust comments, s/1.13/1.14/
to reflect new plan for removal.
* doc/automake.texi (Obsolete Macros): Restore the section, but
now with only one entry: the one for AM_PROG_MKDIR_P.

compat: automake should substitute @mkdir_p@, for backward compatibility
That has been unwittingly broken by commit v1.12-19-g7a1eb9f of 2012-04-28,
"AM_PROG_MKDIR_P: deprecate, to be removed in Automake 1.13". We thought it
wasn't a big deal, but Jim Meyering reported that @mkdir_p@ is used in
gettext's Makefile.in.in template:
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2012-07/msg00014.html>
* lib/am/header-vars.am (mkdir_p): Don't define.
* m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): AC_SUBST 'mkdir_p' with $(MKDIR_P).
* t/mkdir_p.sh, t/mkdirp-deprecation.sh: Enhance.
* NEWS: Update.

coverage: test that AM_PROG_MKDIR_P and $(mkdir_p) still works
They are deprecated, but should continue to work in the 1.12.x
release series. Report from Benoit Sigoure and Diego Elio Pattenò:
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2012-07/msg00001.html>
* t/mkdirp-deprecation.sh: Enhance.
* t/mkdir_p.sh: New test, check that AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE still defines
the $(mkdir_p) make variable. Currently xfailing.
* t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS, XFAIL_TESTS): Add the new
test.

tests: simpler workaround for shells losing the exit status in exit trap
Now that we can assume our tests are run by a decent POSIX shell, we
can simplify our workaround aimed at having the exit status propagated
correctly to the code in the exit trap. Unfortunately, we cannot
dispense with such a workaround altogether, because it's still required
by some shells we need to support (at least Solaris 10 /bin/ksh and
/usr/xpg4/bin/sh).
For more information about the need of that workaround, see the entry
about 'trap' in the section "Limitations of Shell Builtins" in the
Autoconf manual:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#trap>
The new workaround has been tested successfully with the following
shells:
- Bash 4.1
- Bash 3.2
- Bash 3.0
- Bash 2.05b
- dash 0.5.5.1
- dash 0.5.2
- AT&T Ksh 93u (from official Debian package)
- MirBSD Korn Shell 40.2 (from official Debian package)
- Solaris 9, 10 and 11 /bin/ksh
- Solaris 9, 10 and 11 /usr/xpg4/bin/sh
- NetBSD 5.1 /bin/sh
- NetBSD 5.1 /bin/ksh
* t/ax/test-init.sh (Exit): Rename ...
(_am_exit): ... like this.
(exit): New alias for '_am_exit'. We cannot simply redefine 'exit'
as a shell function, because some shells (dash 0.5.5.1, Solaris 10
/bin/ksh and /usr/xpg4/bin/sh) do not allow it.
(_am_exit, trap): Add extra escaping for 'exit' calls, to ensure we
really invoke the 'exit' builtin and not our alias with the same
name.
* configure.ac: Check that the shell selected to run our testsuite
supports aliases named like shell builtins.
* t/REAMDE: Adjust.
* All tests: Adjust, by simply using 'exit' instead of 'Exit'.
* t/self-check-explicit-skips.sh: Adjust: the first usage of 'exit'
after it has been redefined as an alias must be on a new line w.r.t.
that where the alias is defined, in order for the redefinition to be
honored.
* syntax-checks.mk (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Delete.
(sc_tests_exit_not_Exit): New.
(syntax_check_rules): Adjust.
(sc_tests_automake_fails): Simplify the recipe a little.
* Several tests: Remove now useless spurious quoting once required
to placate the 'sc_tests_Exit_not_exit' maintainer check.
* gen-testsuite-part: Likewise. Also, avoid uses of 'Exit' in the
generated scripts.

AM_PROG_MKDIR_P: remove as obsolete
Support for the obsolescent 'AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' m4 macro (and its
output variable '$(mkdir_p)') has in the documentation and with
runtime warning since Automake 1.12.1. It's now time to remove it.
* automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Remove special handling of
'AM_PROG_MKDIR_P'.
* m4/mkdirp.m4: Delete.
* Makefile.am (dist_automake_ac_DATA): Remove it.
* t/mkdirp-deprecation.sh: Delete.
* t/list-of-tests.mk: Remove it.
* doc/automake.texi: Remove references to the 'AM_MKDIR_P' m4 macro
and the '$(mkdir_p)' output variable.
* t/gettext-macros.sh: Ensure the gettext-requiring tests will
still see the now-removed 'AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' macro as an alias for
the 'AC_PROG_MKDIR_P' macro, since even recent versions of gettext
uses 'AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' in their '.m4' files.
* NEWS: Update.

AM_PROG_MKDIR_P: deprecate, to be removed in Automake 1.13
Support for the obsolescent 'AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' macro (and its
output variable '$(mkdir_p)') has already been deprecated in
the documentation. It's now time to make its use actively
emit warnings in the 'obsolete' category as well.
* automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Warn about 'AM_PROG_MKDIR_P'
obsolescent if that macro is seen.
* m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Warn about its own obsolescence.
* m4/init.m4: Require 'AC_PROG_MKDIR_P', not 'AM_PROG_MKDIR_P'.
* t/mkdirp-deprecation.sh: New test.
* t/list-of-tests.mk: Add it.
* syntax-check.mk (sc_mkdir_p): Delete this check as obsolete.
(syntax_check_rules): Remove it.
* t/gettext-macros.sh: Ensure the gettext-requiring tests will
call aclocal and automake with the 'obsolete' warnings disabled,
since even recent versions of gettext used the now-deprecated
'AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' m4 macro.
* NEWS: Update.
