    docs: document AM_MISSING_PROG
    
    Addresses automake bug#11793.
    
    This macro has been present for a long time, and coreutils has been
    relying on it despite no documentation, which argues that it is stable
    enough to be worth documenting.
    
    Furthermore, since we are hoping to change our preferred invocation
    from 'missing --run program' to 'missing program' in a future version
    of automake, we need a way for packages to consistently get the
    preferred invocation form rather than open-coding a call to 'missing'.
    In particular, the Autoconf manual would love to recommend this macro
    when discussing how to integrate an autotest suite with automake.
