[cairo] [PATCH v2 1/3] configure.ac: Quell warnings about AM_PROG_AR when using automake 1.12

Without this, autogen.sh issues warnings like:

  /usr/share/automake-1.14/am/ltlibrary.am: warning: 'libcairoboilerplate_cxx.la': linking libtool libraries using a non-POSIX
  /usr/share/automake-1.14/am/ltlibrary.am: archiver requires 'AM_PROG_AR' in 'configure.ac'
  boilerplate/Makefile.am:18:   while processing Libtool library 'libcairoboilerplate_cxx.la'

AM_PROG_AR was introduced in automake 1.11.2.  As per the docs for
AM_PROG_AR, it is supposed to be included when the archiver ('ar') is
used, but prior to automake 1.12 the warning was only shown iff
-Wextra-portability was specified.  automake 1.12 introduced a change
that includes -Wextra-portability when -Wall is specified.

For further discussion of the issue, see:
