autoconf: Work around editline not being found on Ubuntu 16.04.
And probably other Linux distributions with long-term support releases.
Also update manual stating what version is needed;
I checked that 1.14 is the oldest version with which current nix compiles,
and added autoconf feature checks for some functions added in that release
that nix uses.
