Remove AC_FUNC_UTIME_NULL

Autoconf 2.59d (released in 2006) [1] started promoting several macros
as not relevant for newer systems, including the AC_FUNC_UTIME_NULL.

This macro checks if `utime(file, NULL)` sets file's timestamp to the
current time and defines the `HAVE_UTIME_NULL` symbol. This check was
relevant on very old systems (for example, 4.3BSD released in 1986) and
today can be omitted for systems with utime since it should be well
supported by now. [2]

Remove AC_HEADER_DIRENT

Autoconf 2.59d (released in 2006) [1] started promoting several macros
as not relevant for newer systems anymore, including the `AC_HEADER_DIRENT`.

This macro checks which header defines the `DIR` type. If `<dirent.h>`
is available it defines the `HAVE_DIRENT_H` symbol. Since the `<dirent.h>`
header is already checked in the `configure.ac`, this check is not needed
anymore. This macro also additionally checks for SCO Xenix (discontinued,
latest release 1989) dir and x libraries. [2]

Commit 6ed790685f9ddae11834f36b0ba4fea58afc805a introduced also
`<sys/dir.h>`. This header exists from times of UNIX System V and
provided definition of DIR type on these systems such as 4.3BSD.
Today `<sys/dir.h>` is kept for backwards compatibility and includes
the `<dirent.h>` on current systems. With `dirent.h>` present this
include is no longer required.

This macro checks for presence of the vprint function otherwise checks
for presence of the _doprnt function. This check was relevant on very
old systems and today can be omitted since it should be well supported
by now. [2]

Also PHP doesn't use the HAVE_VPRINTF or HAVE_DOPRNT symbols.

Remove AC_STRUCT_TM macro

Autoconf 2.59d (released in 2006) [1] started promoting several macros
as not relevant for newer systems anymore, including the `AC_STRUCT_TM`.

This macro checks if `struct tm` is defined in either `<sys/time.h>` or
`<time.h>` and defines the `TM_IN_SYS_TIME` symbol accordingly. This
check was relevant in times before the C89 for some embedded systems,
microcontrollers or very old systems. For newer systems it can be
avoided and the `<time.h>` should be included instead since current
systems should be well supported by now. [2]

Since PHP requires at least C89, this patch removes the obsolescent call
and time.h checks.

Autoconf 2.50 released in 2001 has made several macros obsolete. Instead
of the AC_STRUCT_ST_BLKSIZE and AC_STRUCT_ST_RDEV the new
AC_CHECK_MEMBERS should be used.

When checking for the presence of stat struct members st_blkzize and
st_rdev the new AC_CHECK_MEMBERS macro defines new constants
HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_BLKSIZE and HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_RDEV.

Old constants HAVE_ST_BLKSIZE and HAVE_ST_RDEV need to be replaced
respectively in PHP code (this patch) and in PHP extenstions if they use
them.

2.64+ version, and the PHP 7.2 phpize script requires 2.59+ version which

Remove unused Git attributes ident

The $Id$ keywords were used in Subversion where they can be substituted
with filename, last revision number change, last changed date, and last
user who changed it.

In Git this functionality is different and can be done with Git attribute
ident. These need to be defined manually for each file in the
.gitattributes file and are afterwards replaced with 40-character
hexadecimal blob object name which is based only on the particular file
contents.

This patch simplifies handling of $Id$ keywords by removing them since
they are not used anymore.

Replace AC_CONFIG_HEADER with AC_CONFIG_HEADERS

Autoconf doesn't mention the AC_CONFIG_HEADER macro since the v2.13

unclear and commented as possible candidate for obsoletion in the
autoconf source code. Since it is just a wrapper around the main
AC_CONFIG_HEADERS macro, the functionality is the same, and also more
clear to find it in the autoconf documentation and avoid possible future
obsoletion.
