[Libosinfo] [PATCH] Disable static libraries by default

From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange at redhat.com>

Every source file is currently built twice by libtool, once for
the shared library and once for the static library. Static libs
are not commonly packaged by distros and slow down compilation
time by almost 100% compared to a shared-only build time.

Time for non-parallel make

      shared only: 22 secs
  shared + static: 40 secs

Those few people who really want them, can pass --enable-static
to configure

Disabling them by default requires use of LT_INIT. We don't need
to support older libtool, so drop use of AM_PROG_LIBTOOL entirely
