[ng] refactor: move hack for libtool installs from automake to install.am

* automake.in (generate_makefile): Move the hack necessary to make the
installation of libtool libraries and binaries dependent on them work
"on degenerate systems even with make -j" (according to the comments of
the original authors :-) from here ...
* lib/am/install.am: ... to here, with improved comments.

For the origin of the hack we are moving around here, refer to commit
bd4a1d5 of 2000-10-19, "* automake.in (handle_merge_targets): Allow
parallel install with forced relink".
