maint: doc and maintainer-check in preparation for 1.17.90.
* HACKING: mention thanks to individuals.
* NEWS: update for 1.17.90.
* configure.ac (AC_INIT): now 1.17.90.
* m4/amversion.m4 (AM_AUTOMAKE_VERSION): 1.17.90 (auto-update).
* maintainer/syntax-checks.mk (sc_tests_command_subst): allow
whitespace before # shell comment line.
(sc_tests_plain_sleep): emphasize using $sleep without a number;
only replace sleep 1 or sleep 2; longer than that would be fine.
* t/tap-stderr-prefix.tap: use $sleep instead of sleep 1.

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.

build: Inline perl prototypes in sources
Prototypes allows us to avoid using the '&foo' invocation form when
invoking a subroutine before its definition. Previously those
prototypes were generated to prevent them from falling out-of-sync
with actual definitions. Now we provide a 'check-perl-protos' lint
script to ensure that this is not the case. This has the same
benefits as generating prototypes while simplifying the
bootstrap/build process.
* bin/gen-perl-protos: Remove.
* bin/Makefile.inc: Adapt.
* bootstrap: Likewise.
* bin/aclocal.in: Inline prototypes.
* bin/automake.in: Likewise.
* maintainer/check-perl-protos: New lint script.
* maintainer/syntax-checks.mk (sc_perl_protos): New target.
(syntax_check_rules): Add it.

build: auto-generate perl subroutines prototypes for automake and aclocal
This will allow us to avoid either using the '&foo' invocation form when
invoking a subroutine before its definition, or having to maintain the
list of prototypes by hand (with the risk of having it become incomplete
or fall out-of-sync when future edits to the automake and aclocal scripts
are done).
* Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Automatically generate a list of
prototypes by looking at the subroutines definitions.
* bootstrap.sh: Likewise, when generating the temporary automake and
aclocal scripts used for bootstrapping.
* automake.in: Add a placeholder that will be tracked by the new recipes
and substituted with the computed prototypes. Remove existing prototypes,
that are now superfluous. Some adjustments required by the new, more
comprehensive prototypes declarations.
* aclocal.in: Likewise.
* maintainer/syntax-checks.mk (sc_diff_automake, sc_diff_aclocal): Adjust.
