This requires gettext version 0.18.3 or later, and it removes
the GP_GETTEXT_HACK which used to generate a po/Makevars file
from the po/Makevers.template.
gettext 0.18.3 is the same gettext version requirement
as libexif uses.
gettext 0.18.3 has been released 2013-07-07, which is
a similar timeframe of the autoconf, automake and libtool
releases we require.
If you ever need to build a post 2021 libgphoto2 from
git on a system with pre 0.18.3 gettext, you can can
always prepare a tarball using "make dist" on a system
with gettext 0.18.3 or later, and build that tarball
on the older machine.
Not generating the po/Makevars file any more means that
we need additional consistency checks for the parts of
po/Makevars which cannot be derived from the Autoconf
standard set of AC_SUBST()ed Makefile.in variables.
Only use a single gphoto-m4/ subdir - namely that in
libgphoto2_port/gphoto-m4/. This prevents us from
needing to synchronize the contents of the gphoto-m4/
and the libgphoto2_port/gphoto-m4/ directories.
We can do that by switching from recursive make for the
gphoto-m4 subdirectories to using
include path/to/gphoto-m4/Makefile-files
from both the top-level Makefile.am and libgphoto2_port/Makefile.am
using %reldir% (introduced in automake 1.14).
While adding support for "make rpm" appeared to be a good idea in the
early 2000s, it really is not and only clutters up the build system.
At least the libgphoto2_port translation cannot have worked in the
rpm package since at least 5255d80210
from 2007-10-28, so it is a good guess that this has not really been
in use.
Add convenience make targets for helping deal with *.po files:
git-checkout-po
Run "git checkout *.po" in all po/ subdirs.
This can be useful after "make dist".
update-po
Run "make update-po" in all po/ subdirs.
* These files have not been updated for years.
* They probably don't work any more.
* OS/2 files are missing for most of the system.
* gphoto2-port-portability-os2.h has been integrated into
gphoto2-port-portability.h (I wanted to get rid of the longest filename)
* usb-os2.c is still there in libgphoto2_port/usb.
* If someone wants to revive the OS/2 port, they are welcome to start
based on the stuff removed or from scratch.
* Perhaps it might be easier to just use the present
GNU make/libtool build chain than fabricating something with nmake.

* generate check- scripts from config.status
* use libexecdir for print-* utilities
* let utilsdir be defined from configure
* require libexif >= 0.6.13; automatically update libgphoto2.pc with that.
* get rid of "make check" local installation
* moved some tests from "make check" to "make installcheck"
* use one common rule file for "make installcheck"

This moves the header files to a new subdirectory gphoto2 in both
libgphoto2 and libphoto2_port/libgphoto2. All references are
adapted appropriately.
