added appstream as a build requirement
appstream provides the metainfo.its file which is required for
xgettext to extract the translation strings of the
src/ui/gui/org.fsf.pspp.metainfo.xml.in file
The metainfo.its file is located in /usr/share/gettext/its on
debian and on opensuse. It is provided by the packages
debian: appstream
opensuse: AppStream-devel
The test in configure.ac is ineffective at detecting metainfo.its, if the
installed
xgettext is the unpatched version of 0.19.8.1 - it always reports that
appstream 0.12 is
not installed.
Thus the purpose is defeated.
