[LyX/2.3.x] Do not error out with too new autoconf/automake

[Jean-Marc Lasgouttes]

commit 29f2a7ed66c3eddbd1697556aa375ed2263fdf26
Author: Jean-Marc Lasgouttes <lasgouttes at lyx.org>
Date:   Fri Feb 2 08:34:51 2024 +0100

    Do not error out with too new autoconf/automake
    
    The tests are not useful, since the configure.ac file checks for
    minimal version anyway.
