build: Allow building with autoconf 2.63

Reduces the dependency on autoconf from 2.64 to 2.63 to ease building
on older platforms. There is only a few macros missing and they can
be provided easily.

A handful of tests needed modification. The difference in quoting
behaviour between 2.63 and later require the m4_define() to be
manually unfolded.

The Debian control file is left untouched on purpose. The decision
whether to adjust the dependency is left to the respective maintainers.

Tested with autoconf 2.63 and 2.69.
