Improve the autoconf code for finding libtirpc and do not assume the
headers are in /usr/include/tirpc.
Also remove this assumption from the `rpc/xdr.h` header in libspl and
use the same `#include_next` mechanism that is used for other libspl
headers.
Include pkg.m4 from pkg-config in config/ for PKG_CHECK_MODULES(), the
file license allows this.
Include ax_save_flags.m4 and ax_restore_flags.m4 from autoconf-archive,
the file licenses are compatible. Use the 2012 versions so as not rely
on a more recent autoconf feature AS_VAR_COPY(), which breaks some build
slaves.
Add new macro library `config/find_system_library.m4` which defines the
FIND_SYSTEM_LIBRARY() macro which is a convenience wrapper over using
PKG_CHECK_MODULES() with a fallback to standard library locations and
some sanity checks.
The parameters are:
```
FIND_SYSTEM_LIBRARY(VARIABLE-PREFIX, MODULE, HEADER, HEADER-PREFIXES,
LIBRARY, FUNCTIONS, [ACTION-IF-FOUND], [ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND])
```
`HEADER-PREFIXES` and `FUNCTIONS` are comma-separated m4 lists.
For libtirpc we are using:
```
FIND_SYSTEM_LIBRARY(LIBTIRPC, [libtirpc], [rpc/xdr.h], [tirpc], [tirpc],
[xdrmem_create], [], [...])
```
The headers are first checked for without the prefixes and then with.
This system works with pkg-config and falls back on checking standard
header/library locations, it can be easily overridden by the user by
setting the `PREFIX_CFLAGS` and `PREFIX_LIBS` variables which are
automatically added to the `./configure --help` output.

While OpenSolaris libc and glibc both include XDR support, the musl libc
does not in favor of depending on the BSD-licensed libtirpc library.
Adding support is a simple matter of detecting the library, including
the headers and linking against it. By default libtirpc will be checked
for and if available used. Otherwise, configure will fall back to using
the xdr implementation provided by libc if available. The options
--with-tirpc/--without-tirpc can be used to disable this checking.
In addition, the xdr_control() function has been simplied to only
handle ZFSs specific use case.
