Move the check-AUTHORS rule to be run as part of "make distcheck",

rather than "make check".
* src/Makefile.am (check): Don't depend on check-AUTHORS; it would
cause "make check" to fail on systems unable to build all binaries.
* Makefile.maint (check-AUTHORS): New rule.
(local-checks-available): Add it here.
Reported by Bruno Haible.  Needed for BeOS.
