INSTALL: Remove outdated requirements

* m4 1.4.5 LTP issue was on RHEL 5.2 (RHEL 5.11 was EOL 7 years ago) * make 3.81 was from 2009. * autoconf 0.10.2 is even older (not even in autoconf git history nor downloadable). The oldest system still being tested is SLE15-SP2 and even this has newer tooling: m4 1.4.18, make 4.2.1 and autoconf 2.69. => these "common issues" have not been common 15 years, thus removed Signed-off-by: Petr Vorel <[email protected]>

-Common Issues
--------------
-
-Issue:    When executing configure it says:
-
-checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
-checking whether build environment is sane... yes
-checking for gawk... gawk
-checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
-configure: error: cannot run /bin/sh ./config.sub
-
-Solution: You must upgrade autoconf to 0.10.2+ and m4 to 1.4.7+; config.guess and config.sub aren't necessarily generated with older revisions of the Gnu autotools chain.
-
-Issue:    When executing make [all] it says:
-
-    " *** No rule to make target `/$*', needed by `pan-all'.  Stop."
-
-Solution: You must upgrade to make 3.81. Please see the Requirements section above.
-
-Issue:    When executing make [all] it says something like:
-
-    # ...
-    install -m 00644 "/scratch/ltp-dev2/ltp/include/test.h" "/scratch/ltp-install12/include/test.h"
-    install -m 00644 "/scratch/ltp-dev2/ltp/include/tlibio.h" "/scratch/ltp-install12/include/tlibio.h"
-    install -m 00644 "/scratch/ltp-dev2/ltp/include/usctest.h" "/scratch/ltp-install12/include/usctest.h"
-    install -m 00644 "/scratch/ltp-dev2/ltp/include/write_log.h" "/scratch/ltp-install12/include/write_log.h"
-    make[1]: Leaving directory `/scratch/ltp-dev2/ltp/include'
-    make -C lib -f "/scratch/ltp-dev2/ltp/lib/Makefile" all
-    make[1]: Entering directory `/scratch/ltp-dev2/ltp/lib'
-    " *** No rule to make target `dataascii.o', needed by `libltp.a'.  Stop." # <-- the error
-
-Solution: You cannot build LTP with -r / --no-builtin-rules and/or
-	  -R / --no-builtin-variables specified. LTP relies heavily on built-in
-	  implicit rules and variables to function properly.
-
-Issue:    When executing make (no target, 3.80), it does the following, and doesn't execute all:
-
-    #
-    make -C testcases/realtime autotools
-    make[1]: Entering directory `/scratch/ltp/testcases/realtime'
-    autoheader
-    make[1]: Leaving directory `/scratch/ltp/testcases/realtime'
