New description:
Most of what `build/make/install` does really belongs in `configure`, in
particular creating `build/make/Makefile`. This ticket moves that part to
`configure` and adjusts the top-level build system to make this work.
There are two advantages:
1. Running `make` is a lot simpler and hence faster.
2. It allows using `./configure` to configure the list of packages (note
that this ticket does not implement that, it just makes it possible to
implement that in future tickets)
There is an important change for developers: any change to the list or
versions of packages will require a run of `./configure` to take effect.
Note that `./configure` will be re-run automatically if `./configure`
itself changes, which happens with every Sage version. So there is no need
to manually rerun `./configure` if you're just switching between versions.
'''Note to reviewers''': this branch currently has conflicts. However, in
order to avoid endless rebasing, I will rebase whenever somebody plans to
review this ticket.
