autoconf: upgrade to final 2.72 release

autoconf 2.72e was the fifth release candidate build, and whilst we had
good reason to use RCs during development we failed to notice that the
final release was made because alpha.gnu.org _only_ contains the release
candidates.

There are minimal changes in the final release compared to 2.72e:

6199cff2 (tag: v2.72) Finalize NEWS for release 2.72.

  This is the finalisation of the release, updating documentation and
  version numbers.

e544a323 Save/restore AC_LANG setting in AC_PROG_CC_C_O.

  This is a bug fix, aligning behaviour of AC_PROG_CC_C_O.

634fb3e7 Remove bashism from tests/local.at.
4fbe6436 Revert debugging change committed by mistake
8794cd1c Address “autom4te preselections” testsuite failure
e5d98f4c Avoid a spurious test failure with shells that ignore write errors.
3fbfb13e Address “autoconf: forbidden tokens, basic” testsuite failure
fdb58df6 testsuite: Skip tests that use aclocal or automake if they’re too old.

  These are fixes for the test suite.

I’d actually like to see this merged into walnascar: the changes are minimal and shipping a release and not a RC is a good thing.
