Remove references to autotools, GTK+, and X11.

support libraries using macos-setup.sh), and we don't support GTK+ and
thus don't require X11.

The Wireshark source includes an autoconf configure script; however,

try to find macOS frameworks that Wireshark can use to improve the user
experience, so we don't recomment using the configure script.
