configure.ac: allow building without cloning submodules
The MS TRX was intentionally added [1] as an optional feature, which
requires a git submodule to be present in order to build libtrxcon.
This feature can be enabled by passing --with-mstrx to the configure.
But autoconf/automake is a mess. Despite in the root Makefile.am we
are adding full submodule path to the SUBDIRS *conditionally*, the
configure script would still fail if the submodule is not fetched:
Makefile.am:32: error: required directory
./osmocom-bb/src/host/trxcon
does not exist
It would not even enter that directory if it's present, but somehow
it's still required to exist. For the end user this means that
cloning the submodule becomes a *necessary* step in order to build
osmo-trx from source, even when the MS TRX is not really needed.
The fact that we're unconditionally requiring the submodule, which
is meant to be used by an optional feature feels wrong to me. It's
also unusual for osmocom projects to require submodules, so it may
(and already did) cause build failures when cloning as usual.
Let's work this problem around by defining LIBTRXCON_DIR variable
in configure.ac and using it in the root Makefile.am. If the MS
TRX is not enabled explicitly, make autoconf/automake happy by
assigning LIBTRXCON_DIR the submodule's root directory, which is
always present but empty if the submodule is not fetched.
