    tests: rework gettext to only check 'external' behavior
    
    The gettext project deprecated non-external use back in 2010 with the
    0.18 release, and made it fatal with the 0.20 release in 2019.  With
    that version, calling AM_GNU_GETTEXT() fails, which means all Automake
    tests are now skipped.  The t/gettext-macros.sh helper probes gettext
    as such:
    
    >+ autopoint --force
    >  autopoint: *** AM_GNU_GETTEXT without 'external' argument is no longer 
supported in version 0.21.1
    >  autopoint: *** Stop.
    > ...
    >+ aclocal-1.16 -Werror -Wno-syntax -I m4 --install
    >  aclocal-1.16: warnings are treated as errors
    >  configure.ac:4: warning: macro 'AM_GNU_GETTEXT' not found in library
    >  configure.ac:5: warning: macro 'AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION' not found in 
library
    >+ echo skip_all_ "couldn't find or get gettext macros"
    
    Since t/gettext-macros.sh generates a helper that all other gettext
    tests use to see if gettext is available, all they get skipped.
    
    Rework our existing tests to only check the 'external' gettext mode.
    This should work with older versions, and we don't really need to
    keep track of old non-external mode since it's been deprecated for
    so long.
    
    * t/gettext-basics.sh: Use external gettext mode, and adjust tests.
    * t/gettext-config-rpath.sh: Likewise.
    * t/gettext-macros.sh: Likewise.
    * t/gettext-pr381.sh: Likewise.
    * t/subdir-cond-gettext.sh: Likewise.
