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).

compat: reinstate AM_CONFIG_HEADER and AM_PROG_CC_STDC
Make them give runtime warnings in the obsolete category, but apart
from that, make them behave as they did in Automake 1.12.x and earlier.
While removing those macros seemed quite harmless, because it didn't put
a real burden on the developers (requiring them just to do a quick edit
to configure.ac), it turned out to place an unsustainable burden (or at
least, a burden perceived as such) on distro packagers who use the latest
Automake to bootstrap existing packages. Many of those packages, while
having likely updated to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS in their development version,
still used AM_CONFIG_HEADER in their existing released versions, and the
removal of this macro would have thus forced the Fedora packagers to
patch all of them. References:
<http://www.mail-archive.com/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/msg52840.html>
<http://www.spinics.net/lists/fedora-devel/msg175922.html>
<http://blog.flameeyes.eu/2013/01/autotools-mythbuster-automake-pains>
In addition, the Fedora packagers have already decided to patch their
Automake 1.13.1 to reinstate the AM_CONFIG_HEADER and AM_PROG_CC_STDC
macros (plus other macros that I don't believe it's worth worrying about):
<http://www.spinics.net/lists/fedora-devel/msg176098.html>
<http://www.mail-archive.com/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/msg53030.html>
<http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/automake.git/commit/?id=ffe6bc39>
So, rather than having one more incompatibility floating around, we
better mirror that change (or, actually, its relevant parts) in the
upstream.
* m4/obsolete-err.m4 (AM_CONFIG_HEADER, AM_PROG_CC_STDC): Revert to the
older semantics, plus a runtime warning in the 'obsolete' category.
* t/backcompat6.sh: Use AM_CONFIG_HEADER once again.
* t/am-config-header-no-more.sh: Rename ...
* t/am-config-header.sh: ... like this, and adjust.
* t/am-prog-cc-stdc-no-more.sh: Rename ...
* t/am-prog-cc-stdc.sh: ... like this, and adjust.
* t/list-of-tests.mk: Adjust.
* NEWS: Update.
