Also flex is now optional.
The outputs of flex and bison are now committed. By default they get
built, but users who want to build from git can now
./configure --disable-maintainer-mode
to turn off the dependency on bison and flex.
Maintainers must, of course, commit the bison and/or flex outputs when
they make changes to parser.y and/or lexer.l, respectively.
Tests won't pass if built without Oniguruma. We don't have a way to
make a test optional yet. That will come later. For now the ability to
reduce build-time dependencies could really help some users.
jq now depends on oniguruma for regex support.
Modified configure.ac accordingly.
Added valgrind suppression file for oniguruma to prevent one-time and bounded
leaks from causing tests to fail.

For the Mingw build we don't want to pull in the pthread DLL just
because we can autodetect pthread support. That would make the jq.exe
binary not self-contained.
when using a newer automake, the autoreconf step fails with warnings:
"linking libtool libraries using a non-POSIX archiver requires 'AM_PROG_AR' in 'configure.ac' "
This happens for instance on ubuntu 13.10.
Doing just that, adding 'AM_PROG_AR' to configure.ac fixes the problem.
- Re-remove VERSION file and all traces of it
- Pass a decent version indicator to AC_INIT (using git describe)
When we tag 1.4 this will produce 1.4 as the version string when
building on the HEAD of that tag.
