Merge #18290: build: Set minimum Automake version to 1.13
ddc7e42d600a0cb3e763cda0dc04a1f2f34e9440 build: Set minimum Automake version to 1.13 (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
This PR suggests to set the required minimum Automake version to `1.13` explicitly for the following reasons:
- it guarantees that [CVE-2012-3386](https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2012-07/msg00023.html) has been fixed
- `AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR` macro support, which we already use; from the [release notes](https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2012-12/msg00038.html):
> Improvements to aclocal and related rebuilds rules:
> - Autoconf-provided macros AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR and AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS are now traced by aclocal, and can be used to declare the local m4 include directories. Formerly, one had to specify it with an explicit '-I' option to the 'aclocal' invocation.
- `AM_SILENT_RULES` macro support (since version `1.11`)
Automake `1.13` requires Autoconf `2.65` or greater. We already have `2.69` since #17769.
---
For reference, Automake `1.13` was released in [December of 2012](https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2012-12/msg00038.html).
CentOS 7 uses Automake [`1.13.4`](https://centos.pkgs.org/7/centos-x86_64/automake-1.13.4-3.el7.noarch.rpm.html)

fanquake:
ACK ddc7e42d600a0cb3e763cda0dc04a1f2f34e9440 - I think adding a minimum required version here is fine. I'd be surprised if someone who is currently building Bitcoin Core was unable to after this change.
