    automake: do not use -Q with emacs invocations.
    
    This change is for https://bugs.gnu.org/58102.
    (By the way, the previous two commits were for bugs
    58026 (silent .elc compilation) and
    58025 (load bytecomp), respectively, but I forgot to mention them.)
    
    * m4/lispdir.m4 (AM_PATH_LISPDIR): omit -Q option.
    Also (from karl), use -no-site-file (one hyphen) for consistency
    with the other options.
    * NEWS: mention this.
    * doc/automake.texi (Hard-Coded Install Paths): likewise.
