[PATCH app-xdm 1/6] config: add "Check for system libraries" section

[Gaetan Nadon]

This section gathers all the system libraries needed for
xdm features. They may be in standard C library on some
platforms and in discrete libraries on others.

Any xorg library is excluded from this section.
XTRANS macros will be invoked at a later time and contribute
additional libraries.

Although a function is used to search for the library, this
should not be confused with function checking (AC_CHECK_FUNC).

Sample configuration output on GNU/Linux:
checking for library containing getifaddrs... none required
checking for library containing getspnam... none required
checking for library containing setproctitle... no
checking for library containing setusercontext... no
checking for library containing arc4random... -lbsd
checking for library containing crypt... -lcrypt

In the Makefile, libs are pre-pended:
LIBS = -lcrypt -lbsd
