The current code is a bit awkward, and we're going to need
to share it later anyway. We can drop the call to AC_SUBST()
while we're at it, since LIBVIRT_CHECK_LIB() already marks
READLINE_CFLAGS for substitution.
The new code goes to some extra length to avoid setting
-D_FUNCTION_DEF twice: this is mostly for cosmetic reasons,
and it's necessary because LIBVIRT_CHECK_READLINE() is called
twice: once on its own, and then once more as part of
LIBVIRT_CHECK_BASH_COMPLETION().
