    libtoolize: Fix conflicting warnings about AC_PROG_RANLIB
    
    The macro _LT_CMD_OLD_ARCHIVE inlines the definition of AC_PROG_RANLIB,
    which seems to be outdated functionality. Running autoscan in a
    directory with ltmain.sh produces conflicting warnings with libtoolize
    about AC_PROG_RANLIB. Autoconf warns that AC_PROG_RANLIB is missing,
    but libtoolize warns that it is obsolete. The outdated warning should
    no longer appear after replacing AC_CHECK_TOOL(RANLIB, ranlib, :) with
    AC_REQUIRE([AC_PROG_RANLIB]).
    
    * m4/libtool.m4: Use AC_REQUIRE([AC_PROG_RANLIB]).
    * Makefile.am: Added in tests/bug_42313.at.
    * tests/bug_42313.at: Contains test cases for bug 42313.
