[asterisk-dev] Removing configure from tree

[Joshua C. Colp]

I have created a Github issue[1] for this effort which strikes a balance
between impact to existing users, and the removal of the generated
configure script:

'configure' will be removed from the mainline branches (18, 20, master)
Documentation will be updated with instructions for running bootstrap.sh in
this scenario
Makefile will state that configure needs to be run if it has not already
been done and is invoked
The release process will be updated to run bootstrap.sh and produce the
configure script, this configure script will be placed in the tag and
release tarball

This does not add a "dist" target, and the configure script remains in the
tags. This allows us as developers to not have to worry about committing
configure or conflicts that may arise in the generated script, but is least
impactful to users.
