    aclocal: add --aclocal-path option to override ACLOCAL_PATH envvar.
    
    From https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2022-01/msg00029.html
    (plus wording tweaks from Karl; and thanks to Bogdan for research).
    
    * bin/aclocal.in (usage): relabel output of m4 search path
    components to be somewhat more correct (Karl), although it's still
    a mess.
    (parse_arguments): add new option --aclocal-path=s.
    (parse_ACLOCAL_PATH): use $aclocal_path instead of hardwiring envvar.
    * doc/automake.texi (aclocal Options): document it.
    (dirlist): new anchor so we can reference it.
    (Modifying the Macro Search Path: @file{ACLOCAL_PATH}): mention
    the option.
    (Possible future incompatibility): tone down; it might never happen.
    * t/aclocal-path-precedence.sh: test the option.
    * NEWS: mention the new option.
