 This patch switches the automake foo over to non-recursive make.

     This gives us a few benefits:
     1) make -j clean all
        this will start working, as it should. It currently doesn't.
     2) increased parallel build
        recursive make will max out at number of files in a directory,
        non-recursive make doesn't have such a limitation
     3) Removal of duplicate information in make files,
        less error prone

     I've also slightly updated how we call AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, as the way
     that was used was not only deprecated but will be *removed* in the
 next
     major automake release (1.13).... so probably best that we can
 continue
     to bulid tor without requiring old automake.
     (see http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Public-
 Macros.html )

     For more reasons  why, see resources such as:

 Technically, this applies on top of the patches in
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/6522 - but they're
 probably not *required*
