[issues:#5831] Modularize aclocal.m4

In standard GNU projects, the aclocal.m4 file gets auto-generated with the aclocal script; the necessary M4 scripts are either taken from the system or from a directory that gets specified with some
command line options to aclocal.

Looking into the git history of LilyPond's aclocal.m4 file I can see that this was true in the very beginning. However, later on people started to modify this file manually. Was this intentional?

I suggest to use aclocal again, modularizing the current stuff in aclocal.m4 by splitting it into various .m4 files in a m4 top-level subdirectory.
