configure.in was deprecated some years ago. We have a bug at Gentoo [1]https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=529680 to
move it to configure.ac.

I've done so in my git-clone of the postgresql repo, and ran autoupdate
to move away from the deprecated functions as well.

I generated the configure script again, but that didn't change.

make && make check all succeeded without intervention.

I see no advantage to this. It'll mess up our git history to do so,
not to mention complicate back-patching. If we were planning to adopt
additional tools from the autoconf suite then we might have to change
the file suffix, but I have heard no suggestions that we might want to
do that. In particular, we really do not care what automake thinks.
