bug#55025: Automake should allow one to enable POSIX make behavior

I am doubtful about blithely defining .POSIX unconditionally. I feel
sure that will break existing Makefiles. I don't think we should do that.

Detecting .POSIX in an existing Makefile.am and moving it to the front
sounds desirable, since that is clearly what the developer intended.

Another (not mutually exclusive) possibility is to add an Automake
option (say, "make-posix") that outputs the .POSIX line. --thanks, karl.
