m4: Upgrade to 1.4.20 release

This has been 4 years in making, it has fixes to build with gcc-15
and some patches are upstream [1] [2]

This release collects several years of portability improvements, as
well as a couple of minor optimizations to performance.  Notable
improvements in this release include faster execution of the 'eval'
builtin. More details [3]

Subject: [PATCH] Define alignof_slot using _Alignof when using C11 or newer
WG14 N2350 made very clear that it is an UB having type definitions
within "offsetof" [1]. This patch enhances the implementation of macro
alignof_slot to use builtin "_Alignof" to avoid undefined behavior on
when using std=c11 or newer
clang 16+ has started to flag this [2]
Fixes build when using -std >= gnu11 and using clang16+ [3]

Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [configuration]
This patch fixes a build problem for m4-native experienced on Ubuntu 9.10,
where autoconf/automake (AC_CONFIG_LINKS) ends up making GNUmakefile a
symlink to itself.
The patch comments out ac_config_links directly in configure,
as autoreconf is not actually run for m4-native.
I believe it should be safe, as GNUmakefile is actually unpacked from
source, and what we want is to is to not touch it.
Tested on x86_64_linux (Ubuntu 8.04 and 9.10).
