Subject: Remove manually-added Autoconf macros.

Using _AS_LINENO_PREPARE in both the main configure script and a script that
configure loads causes (on shells with no LINENO variable, e.g. BusyBox ash)
infinite mutual recursion between the two scripts.

These macros are removed in version 2.18 upstream:
