The .gitignores contain the autotools files at the location wehre I finally want them when I'm doen with the autmomake conversion.
Move test for enidanness into autoconf. Previously, a Makefile would compile and run a special program that tested system characteristics nad wrote an output file, which in turn would be inlcuded as a header file. This task is better left to autoconf.
This proved more difficult than expected; in particular to pick the right inputs for libmarx.a (which is far more than the *lis file states). Because everything depends on everything (the directory structure on configure.ac, the configure.ac on automake, automake on my ability ot formulate the right rules, ...) this is not a small atomic commit but rather a "dumb everything in one buckt". At this point automake + autoconf + autoheader work and compile (I did not test if marx runs, yet!). There is no use of libtool yet.
Also, change their installation location from /lib/marx to /bin. This puts all binary executables in one place.
This file has not changed for 10 years and it's not big. It is much simpler to include the binary in the distribution tarball. (It's been in the repro for a long time anyway).

pfiles, jdfits, and jdmath all have their own configure and makefiles. This commit introduces the same for rsp. In particular since rsp needs cfitsio, while the main program does not, it seems reasonble to build it separately.
At this stage, all automake and autoconf files do work and compile all tools sucessfully. The conversion to automake is not complete (e.g. rsp should only be compiled if cfitsio is available and the autput of running marx should print useful messages where data and par files can be found).

MARX has used autoconf for a long time. This PR changes the system from partially hand-written makefiles and custom m4 macros to automake and standard m4 macros.
