[Findutils-patches] building with bleeding-edge autotools

[Eric Blake]

Without this patch, it is impossible to bootstrap the 4.2.x branch when using 
bleeding-edge autotools (autoconf 2.61a.300+, automake 1.10a), because there 
were some circular and missing macro references.  AC_GNU_SOURCE, AC_AIX, and 
AC_ISC_POSIX are now all deprecated in favor of AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS, but 
this is all handled by gnulib in gl_EARLY.  Also, gl_AC_TYPE_LONG_LONG no 
longer exists, but gnulib again handles improved long long checks transparently 
by virtue of the stdint module, not to mention that intmax_t is now guaranteed 
by gnulib.  This patch has no effect on configure results, even when using 
autoconf 2.59 instead of bleeding edge.  Fixing bugs by deletion is fun!

OK to apply?

        Allow bootstrap with autoconf 2.61a.
        * configure.in (AC_AIX, AC_ISC_POSIX): Remove, now that
        gl_EARLY does this.
        (jy_AC_TYPE_INTMAX_T): Delete, now that gnulib's stdint module
        does this.
