Default to 'configure --enable-silent-rules'
This greatly shortens the 'make' output, making it more readable and useful. For example, on my platform it shortens a 4125-character line "gcc -std=gnu99 -c -Demacs -I. -I. -I../lib ... emacs.c" -- a line so long that it's hard to see what's going on or where the diagnostics are -- to just "CC emacs.o". * INSTALL: Document this. * configure.ac: Add AM_SILENT_RULES([yes]). (AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY): Remove now-unnecessary initialization. * etc/NEWS: Document this. Fixes: bug#19501

Use './configure PKG_CONFIG=/full/name/of/pkg-config' if you need to.
-** The configure option '--enable-silent-rules' and the command
-'make V=0' now do a better job of suppressing chatter.
