[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57044] Use gnulib without hg subrepo and `bootstrap` with proper revision control

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #23, bug #57044 (project octave):

Notice that this is effectively the same as we have today.

Right now, if you update gnulib to a new revision, and I do 'hg pull -u', I do
get an automatic recursive pull of the gnulib subrepository. However, those
files don't actually get used in the build until I manually run ./bootstrap.
It's the same as if I hadn't updated gnulib at all.

So the only effective difference is when does your local copy of gnulib get
updated to the new revision that we have pinned in the repository. This change
will push the fetch from "hg up" to "./bootstrap" time.
