doc: cross-reference m4 manual for regex syntax (#111095)
The documentation of the various M4sugar macros that take regex
arguments did not explain GNU M4’s idiosyncratic regex syntax, which
resembles POSIX basic regexes but is not actually the same, nor is it
the same as Emacs regexes.  Add cross-references to the GNU M4 manual
to rectify this.

Patch originally by Luke Mewburn, revised by Zack Weinberg.

* doc/autoconf.texi: Add cross-references from the documentation of
  ‘m4_bpatsubst’ and ‘m4_bregexp’ to the GNU M4 manual sections that
  explain ‘patsubst’ and ‘regexp’.  Also add cross-references from
  ‘m4_bmatch’ and ‘m4_bpatsubsts’ to ‘m4_bregexp’ and ‘m4_bpatsubst’
  respectively.
