Rather than require $AR be set and then default to `ar`, use the
standard AC_CHECK_TOOL helper to find a good prefixed tool. In
practice this shouldn't change much as we seem to have macros in
the tree that were already setting it up, but we shouldn't rely
on that implicitly.
All the scripts were using this implicitly already, so there's no real
change for them, but we want to call it explicitly as the CPP tool is
used to generate nltvals.def.
This file is quite large and is getting unmanageable. Split it apart
to follow aclocal best practices by putting one-macro-per-file. There
shouldn't be any real functional changes here as can be seen in the
configure script regens.
