config: libtoolize: put macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR, 'm4'

As suggested by one tool called by autoreconf. Necessitates change to:
- configure.ac: Call AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR()
- Makefile.am: Set ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4
- Create placeholder m4 folders
- Update gitignore files

>From the autoconf documentation:

 "Starting from version 2.58, autoconf provide the macro AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR
  to declare where additional macro files are to be put and found. The
  argument passed to this macro is commonly m4."
