When I bootstrap GNU libunistring with Autoconf 2.70, the generated
'configure' is broken leading to:
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for gcc option to enable C11 features... none needed
./configure: line 7012: syntax error near unexpected token
`ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc=$ac_cv_prog_cc_c89'
./configure: line 7012: `
ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc=$ac_cv_prog_cc_c89'
Apparently there is some incompatibility between Gnulib's m4/std-gnu11.m4
and PREFIX/share/autoconf/autoconf/c.m4 from Autoconf 2.70.
This patch fixes it.

std-gnu11: Make compatible with Autoconf 2.70.
* m4/std-gnu11.m4: Disable the entire file if Autoconf >= 2.70 is in
use.
