[PATCH] maint: make silent builds the default

[Eric Blake]

The user still has full control over verbosity levels, both setting
their per-project defaults at configure time (or even in a config.site
file), as well as a per-run override. But these days, most projects
are defaulting to silent rules.

* configure.ac (AM_SILENT_RULES): Add, to match what most projects
are doing these days.
