systemtap: add option for readline

systemtap will try and use libreadline if it's available which isn't
good for determinism. Add an option, and disable it by default.

+configure: add option to enable/disable readline
+
+Add an option to control explicitly whether systemtap will look for and
+use readline, for reproducible builds.
+
+If not specified the behaviour is as before: look for readline and if it
+is found, use it.  However if --with-readline is passed then readline
+must be present, and if --without-readline is passed then readline will
+not be used.
