add libtool --mode=finish mode for sysroot

* doc/libtool.texi (Finish mode): Document behavior when *.la files
are passed.
* libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_finish): Eliminate sysroot
or `=' signs representing it from files in $libs.
* tests/sysroot.at (SYSROOT_TESTS): Test for presence of sysroot
references before running libtool --mode=finish, and for absence
afterwards.

+@dfn{Finish} mode has two functions.  One is to help system administrators
+install libtool libraries so that they can be located and linked into
+user programs.  To invoke this functionality, pass the name of a library
+directory as @var{mode-arg}.  Running this command may require superuser
+privileges, and the @option{--dry-run} option may be useful.
+
+The second is to facilitate transferring libtool libraries to a native
+compilation environment after they were built in a cross-compilation
+environment.  Cross-compilation environments may rely on recent libtool
+features, and running libtool in finish mode will make it easier to
+work with older versions of libtool.  This task is performed whenever
+the @var{mode-arg} is a @samp{.la} file.
