Renaming the reconf script to align more closely with autotools
standards.

There are certain conventions users expect when working with a project
that uses autotools. Deviating from those conventions adds confusion and
complexity to a project. krb5 deviates from those conventions in several
ways. In an effort to try to simplify the krb5 build, I am moving and
renaming the src/util/reconf script to src/bootstrap. The bootstrap name
was chosen since the Autotools documentation says it is the preferred
name. For more information on this please see:

Remove util/reconf

The bulk of the util/reconf script is to detect old versions of
autoconf and possibly work around bugs in them. Require

autoconf>=2.63, and remove the util/reconf script. Adjust
documentation and other scripts accordingly.

Also remove Makefile rules that remove autom4te.cache. Such rules
were supposedly necessary when mixing of different versions of
autoconf was common; this seems to be less of an issue now.
