autoconf: refine quadrigraph test in _AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED
It is a very common case that a quadrigraph appears in the argument of
_AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED, because "#define" is expanded through a quadrigraph.
Therefore, restrict the quadrigraph tests to "$" (for "$(" and "${")
and "(" (for "$(").
At the same time, "#" should not be used inside AC_ECHO because it confuses
m4's comment parsing. This pre-existing latent bug is caught by test 251:
AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED([bar], [[%!_!# X]])
Previously the quadrigraph in "@%:@define bar %!_!# X" made Autoconf fall back
to cat anyway. Now that Autoconf is not fooled by the quadrigraph, the test
catches that "#" is not special-cased. Kudos to Eric for coming up with it!
* lib/autoconf/general (_AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED): Do not blindly
use cat on all quadrigraphs.
