lldpd: fix autoreconf failure
The lldpd sources ship a modified local AX_LIB_READLINE M4 macro which
conflicts with the official macro shipped by autoconf-archive.
Due to the official macro having the same name and a higher serial
number, autoconf will prefer including that one instead of the local
copy, preventing the substitution of @READLINE_LIBS@ in Makefile.in
templates, ultimately leading to the following build failure when
linking lldpcli:
    ...-gcc: error: READLINE_LIBS@: No such file or directory
Avoid this problem by renaming the locally shipped macro to not clash
with the official implementation anymore.

| Subject: [PATCH] build: prevent conflict with official AX_LIB_READLINE macro | ||||
|  | ||||
| On systems where the official AX_LIB_READLINE (ax_lib_readline.m4) is | ||||
| present in a globally shared autoconf include directory, auto(re)conf | ||||
| will prefer including that offical version over the local variant due | ||||
| to the offical macro having a higher serial number. | ||||
|  | ||||
| As a consequence, @READLINE_LIBS@ will not be substituted in *.in files, | ||||
| eventually failing the compilation with errors similar to: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     gcc: error: READLINE_LIBS@: No such file or directory | ||||
|  | ||||
| Avoid this problem by renaming the incompatible local macro to | ||||
| AX_LIB_READLINE_LLDPD which is sufficient to prevent any clashes. | ||||
|  | ||||
| We encountered this problem on OpenWrt which uses GNU autoconf-archive | ||||
| to provide commonly used M4 macros through a global include directory, | ||||
| which happens to ship AX_LIB_READLINE as well. | ||||
