In Gnulib, Emacs, etc. we are changing ftp: and http: URLs to use
https:, to discourage man-in-the-middle attacks when downloading
software. The attached patch propagates these changes upstream to
Automake. This patch does not affect files that Automake is
downstream of, which I'll patch separately.
Althouth the resources are not secret, plain HTTP is vulnerable to
malicious routers that tamper with responses from GNU servers,
and this sort of thing is all too common when people in some other
countries browse US-based websites. See, for example:
Aceto G, Botta A, Pescapé A, Awan MF, Ahmad T, Qaisar
S. Analyzing internet censorship in Pakistan. RTSI
2016. https://dx.doi.org/10.1109/RTSI.2016.7740626
HTTPS is not a complete solution here, but it can be a significant
help. The GNU project regularly serves up code to users, so we should
take some care here.

It gives the impression that they are directly runnable, as with
"./t/foo.sh", but it has been a while since that was the case. Today,
tests are runnable only through "make check" or "./runtest".
This change is for the 'micro' branch (automake 1.13.2a). It will
soon be followed by similar patches for the 'maint' branch (automake
1.13a) and the 'master' branch (automake 1.99a).
* t/*.sh, t/*.tap: Remove executable bit.
* maint.mk (sc_tests_executable): Remove.
(syntax_check_rules): Adjust.
* gen-testsuite-part: Set permissions of generated tests to
'444' (-r--r--r--), rather than 555 (-r-xr-xr-x).

This is a follow-up to today's commit v1.12.4-22-g0610fc8,
"tests: prepare to move ./defs to t/ax/test-init.sh"
* All tests: To run the common setup, use the command:
. test-init.sh
instead of the older, "historical" one:
. ./defs || exit 1
Note that the "|| exit 1" wasn't really useful, since the 'errexit'
shell flag is in effect in both './defs' and 'test-init.sh', and all
the known shells that are good enough to run the automake testsuite
do automatically exit with error when a sourced file cannot be found
(at least, they do so in non-interactive mode, which is the only
mode that concerns us in the testsuite).
* t/ax/tap-summary-aux.sh, t/ax/testsuite-summary-checks.sh: Likewise.
* gen-testsuite-part: Do the same in the generated tests.

This partially reverts commit 'v1.12-67-ge186355' of 2012-05-25,
"init: obsolete usages of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE not supported anymore"
Some users still need to be able to define the version number for
their package dynamically, at configure runtime.
Their user case is that, for development snapshots, they want to be
able to base the complete version of the package on the VCS revision
ID (mostly Git or Mercurial). They could of course do so by
specifying such version dynamically in their call to AC_INIT, as is
done by several GNU packages. But then they would need to regenerate
and re-run the configure script before each snapshot, which might be
very time-consuming for complex packages, to the point of slowing
down and even somewhat impeding development.
The situation should truly be solved in Autoconf, by allowing a way
to specify the version dynamically in a way that doesn't force the
configure script to be regenerated and re-run every time the package
version changes. But until Autoconf has been improved to allow
this, Automake will have to support the obsolescent two-arguments
invocation for AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, to avoid regressing the suboptimal
but working solution for the use case described above.

This is a follow-up on commit v1.12-66-g27136df of 2012-05-06, "init: warn
against obsolete usage of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE".
With this change, we drop support for the two-arguments and three-arguments
invocation forms of the AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE macro, as in either of:
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE($PACKAGE, $VERSION)
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE($PACKAGE, $VERSION, NODEFINE)
* NEWS, doc/automake.texi: Update.
* m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Report the two- and three-arguments
invocation form as a hard error.
* t/aminit-moreargs-deprecation.sh: Renamed ...
* t/aminit-moreargs-deprecation.sh: ... to this, and updated to check
the new semantics.
* t/ac-output-old.tap: Adjust by avoiding old-style uses of AC_INIT
and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.
* t/acsilent.sh: Likewise.
* t/dirlist.sh: Likewise.
* t/dirlist2.sh: Likewise.
* t/req.sh: Likewise.
* t/nodef.sh: Remove as obsolete.
* t/version.sh: Likewise.
* t/version2.sh: Likewise.
* t/backcompat.sh: Likewise.
* t/backcompat2.sh: Likewise.
* t/backcompat3.sh: Likewise.
* t/backcompat5.sh: Likewise.
* t/backcompat4.sh: Renamed ...
* t/backcompat-acout.sh: ... to this.
* t/list-of-tests.mk: Adjust.

Support for the two- and three-arguments invocation forms of the
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE macro, as in:
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE($PACKAGE, $VERSION)
or:
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE($PACKAGE, $VERSION, NODEFINE)
will be removed in the next major Automake release (1.13).
Such usages have already been deprecated in the documentation
starting from commit v1.11-2015-ge99690a of 23-02-2012 "docs,
news: document planned removal of obsolete macros and features".
We now start giving runtime warnings as well (in the 'obsolete'
category).
* NEWS: Update.
* m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Report the two- and three-arguments
form invocation.
* automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Likewise.
* doc/automake.texi: Minor adjustments. Add an @anchor to the
location where it's described how to modernize outdated invocation
of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, so that it can be referenced from automake
warning/error messages.
* t/aminit-moreargs-deprecation.sh: New test.
* tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add it.
* tests/ac-output-old.tap: Adjust by calling automake with the
warnings in the 'obsolete' category disabled.
* t/backcompat.test: Likewise.
* t/backcompat3.test: Likewise.
* t/backcompat5.test: Likewise.
* t/backcompat6.test: Likewise.
* t/version.test: Likewise.
* t/version2.test: Likewise.
* t/pr2.test: Modernize style of AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
invocations, and use proper m4 quoting.
* t/pr87.test: Likewise.
* t/confsub.test: Likewise.
* t/install2.test: Likewise.
