Detect python > 2.5, make sure MKDIR_P is substituted

gluster build machine generate configure scripts unable to detect python > 2.5
This change include a more recent python.m4 so that newer python can be
correctly detected.

Build.gluster.com also produces a configure that fails to subsitute
MKDIR_P, leading to bugs at make install. Works this around by
introducing mkdirp.m4 from aclocal-1.11, with the autoconf version test
removed because build.gluster.com also has an outdated autoconf. And
we need a bit from a recent autoconf

NB: this patchset changes nothing since the last one, I just fix title
in gerrit.

+# Check whether `mkdir -p' is known to be thread-safe, and fall back to
+# install-sh -d otherwise.
+#
+# Automake 1.8 used `mkdir -m 0755 -p --' to ensure that directories
+# created by `make install' are always world readable, even if the
+# installer happens to have an overly restrictive umask (e.g. 077).
+# This was a mistake.  There are at least two reasons why we must not
+# use `-m 0755':
+#   - it causes special bits like SGID to be ignored,
+#   - it may be too restrictive (some setups expect 775 directories).
+#
+# Do not use -m 0755 and let people choose whatever they expect by
+# setting umask.
+#
+# We cannot accept any implementation of `mkdir' that recognizes `-p'.
+# Some implementations (such as Solaris 8's) are vulnerable to race conditions:
+# if a parallel make tries to run `mkdir -p a/b' and `mkdir -p a/c'
+# concurrently, both version can detect that a/ is missing, but only
+# one can create it and the other will error out.  Consequently we
+# restrict ourselves to known race-free implementations.
+#
+# Automake used to define mkdir_p as `mkdir -p .', in order to
+# allow $(mkdir_p) to be used without argument.  As in
+#   $(mkdir_p) $(somedir)
+# where $(somedir) is conditionally defined.  However we don't do
+# that for MKDIR_P.
+#  1. before we restricted the check to GNU mkdir, `mkdir -p .' was
+#     reported to fail in read-only directories.  The system where this
+#     happened has been forgotten.
+#  2. in practice we call $(MKDIR_P) on directories such as
+#       $(MKDIR_P) "$(DESTDIR)$(somedir)"
+#     and we don't want to create $(DESTDIR) if $(somedir) is empty.
+#     To support the latter case, we have to write
+#       test -z "$(somedir)" || $(MKDIR_P) "$(DESTDIR)$(somedir)"
+#     so $(MKDIR_P) always has an argument.
+#     We will have better chances of detecting a missing test if
+#     $(MKDIR_P) complains about missing arguments.
+#  3. $(MKDIR_P) is named after `mkdir -p' and we don't expect this
+#     to accept no argument.
+#  4. having something like `mkdir .' in the output is unsightly.
+#
+# On NextStep and OpenStep, the `mkdir' command does not
+# recognize any option.  It will interpret all options as
+# directories to create.
