  -----------
  Add Autotools-based build infrastructure

This makes it easier to package ddclient, especially as enhancements
are made such as unit tests or a man page.

I chose GNU Autoconf and Automake mostly because I'm familiar with
them, but also because I know they are well supported. Unfortunately
they can be difficult to understand/maintain (especially Autoconf), so
we may want to convert to something else later.

Addresses #146, #147

  Log Message:
  -----------
  Use the "modulino" pattern to facilitate unit tests

Now the `ddclient` file can be used as a script or as a module. For
details, see: https://www.drdobbs.com/scripts-as-modules/184416165

  Log Message:
  -----------
  Add unit test infrastructure.

Now all that is needed to add a new unit test is to create a `t/*.pl`
file and list it in the `handwritten_tests` variable.

To run the test suite, run:

    ./autogen && ./configure && make check

Fixes #147
