A clean checkout of xfstests followed by a build resulted in a long list
of untracked files. The current .gitignore ignores most binaries, but
the "dmapi" subdir was missed as were some binaries from the "src"
subdir.
Also ".libs" and ".ltdep" appear under a "dmapi" subdir, not just under
the top-level "libs" directory, so ignore those regardless of the
directory they are in.

The "dmapi" subtree was developed separate from and sort of wedged
into the rest of the "xfstests" code. As a result, it has a lot of
build infrastructure that's just different from the unified way used
for everything else.
This patch changes all that, making the "dmapi" subtree be a more
normal component of "xfstests" with respect to its build process.
This involves removing all the cruft needed and used by the dmapi
"configure" script, and replacing each "Makefile.am" file with a
proper "Makefile" that includes a simple set of rules that are
compatible with the broader "xfstests" build.
The result is a much cleaner, consistent build. It also deletes
a considerable amount of code.

Currently the xfstest builds do not have any automatic dependency
calculations. It relies on a separate make depend run to build or
update dependency information. It also relies on an external
makedepend binary. If that binary does not exist, the dependencies
do not get calculated.
To remove the dependency on makedepend, gcc can be used instead as
it has a command to generate dependency information. This patch
changes the dependency rule building to use gcc.
In case anyone uses an old (several years) gcc compiler or a
compiler that doesn't support gcc compatible dependency generation,
a new configure check is added to turn off dependency checking so
builds can still be done.
To use the dependencies automatically, we need to use a special
include makefile directive to include the build dependencies into
the current makefile. Essentially once the dependencies are
calculated, they can be included into the makefile and make will
recalculate the build dependencies automatically based on that
information.
Hence we get a build that automatically calculates and keeps
dependencies up to date without dependence on any external tools.
