build system portability fixes
* especially to improve building on FreeBSD 11 * We need GNU Make, yet alone because Scintilla/Scinterm needs it. We now document that dependency and added an Autoconf check from the autoconf-archive. We make sure that the build process is invoked with GNU make by generating only GNUmakefiles. The Makefile.am files have not been renamed, so this change can be rolled back easily. * Some GNU-Make-specific autoreconf warnings have still been resolved. But not all of them, as this would have been unelegant and we need GNU Make anyway. * Declare ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to appease autoreconf * Added an explicit check for C++11 from the autoconf-archives. In general we should support building with every C++11 compiler that is sufficiently GNU-like. * Do not use `sed` for inplace editing, as different sed-implementations have mutually incompatible syntax for this. Instead of declaring and checking a dependency on GNU sed, we simply use SciTECO for the editing task. This improves code portability on BSDs. * Similarily, BSD/POSIX `cmp` is supported now. This fixes the test suite on BSD without declaring a dependency on the GNU coreutils. * Simplified sciteco-wrapper generation.
