Get rid of gnome-common build dependency

[Jakko3]

"gnome-common" is deprecated. Replace the autogen.sh script by the template suggested at the gnome-common migration page [1], adding the mentioned aclocal line.

Thanks for merging!

As far as I can see, the test build failed with:

./configure: line 4857: syntax error near unexpected token `0.35.0'
./configure: line 4857: `IT_PROG_INTLTOOL(0.35.0)'

Sorry for causing issues. I did a test build in Alpine Linux and it ran through. When I compare the build logs:

• in the build log here I see:
  • autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Intltool
• in the build log on Alpine Linux on the same line there is (I don't know why it's different, probably some setting in the build environment):
  • autoreconf: running: intltoolsize --copy --force

Looking into the gnome-common migration page, likely the "intltoolize" line needs to be added between the "aclocal" and "autoreconf" lines in autogen.sh.

• https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeCommon/Migration
  • intltoolize --force --copy --automake || exit 1

Do you want me to push a new PR to add the "intltoolize" line? Or is it easier if you add the line?

Just as a side note, the folloing page "Migrating from Intltool to Gettext" suggests to get rid of Intltool as well. But that's beyond my scope.

An additional remark. In the Alpine Linux build log I see the following line. That one doesn't show up in the build log here. I don't know why this is drawn in at Alpine but not here. Probably adding the "intltoolize" line doesn't help if "intltool.m4" doesn't get installed before.

• aclocal: installing 'm4/intltool.m4' from '/usr/share/aclocal/intltool.m4'

Another line that is in the Alpine Linux build log but not in the build log here:

• aclocal: installing 'm4/nls.m4' from '/usr/share/aclocal/nls.m4'

@Jakko3 you missed a dep, see #233

Ok, thanks a lot for setting up a fix!

@Jakko3 you missed a dep, see #233

i'm trying to compile and see very same error

./configure: line 4913: syntax error near unexpected token `0.35.0'
./configure: line 4913: `IT_PROG_INTLTOOL(0.35.0)'

I have intltool-debian 0.35.0 package installed. Does it need something else?

edit:
Also installed just intltool and it's passing now.
