AX_CC_FOR_BUILD: deprecate in favor of AX_PROG_CC_FOR_BUILD
The AX_PROG_CC_FOR_BUILD has seen a lot more updates than AX_CC_FOR_BUILD, and is generally way more complete. The latter hardcoded `gcc` as the native compiler fallback and lacks any of the standard $build- prefix searches. It also uses non-standard cache vars -- it's using the bfd_cv_xxx namespace instead of the ax_cv_xxx namespace everything else does. Otherwise, the macros largely have the same intention: to find a compiler for the build system, and setup the exe extension. So deprecate AX_CC_FOR_BUILD and have it redirect automatically.
