    libtool: Remove test_compile
    
    This is cleanup for libtool. The option test_compile is not used in
    libtool, and the documentation states that it would probably be dropped
    in the future.
    
    * build-aux/ltmain.in: Remove case statement for test_compile.
    * doc/libtool.texi: Remove test_compile from documentation.
    * m4/libtool.m4: Remove test_compile definition from macro file.
