configure does not catch --enable-bogosity

Noticed this when I had a typo on the configure command line. The configure
script does not catch the following bogus option:

--enable-bogosity

That might seem like no biggie, but it also doesn't seem to notice this
error:

--enable-thread-safeyt (notice the mispelling)

Makes it look like you had a valid configure.

Complain to the Autoconf project. They strenuously insist this is not a
bug, and have done so for many years.
