QPID-4640: Deprecate autotools build system.
This patch does the following:
- Update INSTALL and README files to refer to the cmake build.
- configure script prints a deprecation notice.
The autotools instructions are still available in INSTALL-AUTOTOOLS,
which also has a deprecation notice.

> Project: Qpid
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Build Tools
> Affects Versions: 0.20
> Reporter: Alan Conway
> Assignee: Alan Conway
>
> Deprecate the automake build system in favour of the cmake build system. The
> cmake system has been in use for several years now, and is more portable
> (supports windows). Having two redundant systems is a source of confusion and
> errors.
> - Update docs (INSTALL, README, release notes etc.) to use cmake
> - The configure script will fail by default with a deprecation message.
> - Users can still use automake by doing "configure --use-deprecated=yes"
> We will keep both systems working for this release, and remove the automake
> system in a subsequent release. This gives us at least one release cycle with
> both systems available so we can fix any bugs/deficiencies found in the cmake
> system as users switch from automake.
