configure: remove AM_MAINTAINER_MODE, effectively always enabling all the rules
There're strong arguments against using this macro (mostly regarding build consistency), so remove it altogether.

-After a fresh checkout, @c bootstrap, and a simple @c configure, you may

-the problems. The isssue is well-known and expected, if unfortunate.

-The OpenOCD project requires that all developers building from the

-In addition to solving these problems, this option enables Makefile
