Yann E. MORIN 312814a0be package/alsamixergui: cleanly fix build against fltk and newer alsa-libs
We have an existing patch to configure.in that chains the test to find
fltk (supposedly because a symbol of fltk got renamed sometime in the
past). By doing so, this chaining breaks the build when configure later
checks for the alsa libraries.

This is because chaining calls to AC_CHECK_LIBS() one in the other would
be expanded in such a way that internal functions, like ac_fn_c_try_link,
would get defined after being called, which results in configure failures
(see new bundled patch).

So, we change configure to use AC_SEARCH_LIBS() instead, which allows us
to memorise the result of each test, and we only fail when both tests
failed.

We can now drop the ac_cv overrides we had.

Incidentally, this also fixes detection of newer alsa-libs, where
atopology functions were offloaded to their own separate library:
    75d393a563

Fixes:

(Note: upstream has been basically dead for at least 15 years now, so we
did not even try to submit the patch there...)

Subject: [PATCH] configure: fix detection of fltk libs
Chaining calls to AC_CHECK_LIB one in the other, breaks the configure
script, because some internal functions (e.g. ac_fn_c_try_link) would
not be defined before they are needed, leading the build to fail as
thus:
checking for snd_tplg_new in -latopology... ./configure: line 4630:
ac_fn_c_try_link: command not found
no
configure: error: No linkable libatopology was found.
Using AC_CHECK_LIB() in sequence (i.e. one after the other) and
memorising the result is not trivial: AC_CHECK_LIB() implements a
ddefault action-if-found that append to LIBS, but not if the user
ptrovides their own action-if-found.
Instead, AC_SEARH_LIBS() always append to LIBS, *and* run the
user-provided action.
So, we switch to AC_SEARCH_LIBS() and memorise the result for each
test, to eventually test if ether worked.
