automake update to 1.18 broke buildbots as we dont have makeinfo host tool
present, after investigation this was an automake regression that was fixed
in 1.18.1[1].
So, since 1.18.1 contains small number of fixes, update to it instead of
just backporting the single commit.

Update to the latest stable release
with the new API versions for binaries.
The temporary patching of shebangs is no longer necessary
since the whitespace check has been changed to a warning.
Part of a patch was upstreamed and therefore removed.
Manually adjusted patch:
- 000-relocatable.patch
- 101-do-not-require-files.patch
All other patches are automatically refreshed.

Update to the latest stable release.
This is the automake API that newer packages
such as libtool 2.5.4 is bootstrapped with,
and is required for bootstrapping it again.

The latest automake version 1.17 includes a restriction against whitespace
for the configure variable $PERL, which is set to "/usr/bin/env perl"
for portability reasons with products like the SDK.
Instead of waiting until the next version of automake is released
for this error to be converted to a warning,
set the shebang of automake and aclocal manually with a patch.
In past git history, these lines have been patched before,
but only to remove the "-w" flag in favor of setting global warnings
in the script itself so that env does not strip the option.
The other purposes of Perl during building can use
the static staging directory path without any limitations.
Also, the configure variable "am_cv_prog_PERL_ithreads"
for the detection of Perl threads support
has been removed since 2013 in favor of dynamic runtime detection.
Remove our manual setting of this variable value as it has no effect.

This reverts commit b930ce3bf7.
Bump to 1.17 broke SDK portability as it partially reverted commit
("automake: portability fixes") which made Perl PATH "/usr/bin/env perl"
as that is portable, as otherwise automake will set the absolute path to
the Perl binary and this will then fail when using SDK on a different
system as that PATH is not present.
So, since fixing this would require backport of upstream commit
("configure: make perl path with whitespace a warning, not error.") which
requires autoreconf to be done in order for configure to get regenerated
we cannot do it because at that time we do not have automake built.
So, for now revert the bump until upstream makes a new release.

In the light of recent XZ events, and fundamental XZ issues lets work on
moving away from using XZ.
So, use gz compressed tarballs as sources whenever possible.
dwarves only offers bz2 compressed tarballs, so use those as size
difference is minor compared to XZ.

Instead of having a somewhat random list of aclocal symlinks
which are named with the API versioning scheme,
install a symlink for every API version since 1.11
(the first release after Automake was moved to git)
using the API version number from the version of automake
that is currently in openwrt.
Automake API versioning does not include the patch level number.

The configure option datarootdir
defaults to PREFIX/share.
The Host/Clean define should be Host/Uninstall
otherwise it is removing the build directory
before there is a chance to try "make uninstall"
in that directory.
Host/Clean/Default is no longer defined.
Consolidate the install stage with Host/Uninstall,
since it is essentially uninstalling before installing.

Instead of using STAGING_DIR and then go up one dir with '../' use
directly STAGING_DIR_HOST env variable. This should produce cleaner
symbolic links.

The rework of the host tools discovery caused automake to embed
absolute paths to staging_dir/host/bin/perl into the shebang
of the generated automake executables.
Switch to the portable "/usr/bin/env perl" and enable global
warnings through "$^W" instead of the "-w" interpreter argument.

OpenWrt hides verbose output by default,
regardless of automake silent-rules being en-/disabled.
If we enable verbose output for package builds (V=s)
however, we'd like to see as most as possible.
