configure: remove AM_MAINTAINER_MODE, effectively always enabling all the rules
There're strong arguments against using this macro (mostly regarding build consistency), so remove it altogether.

-After a fresh checkout, @c bootstrap, and a simple @c configure, you may
-experience errors when running @c make that some files cannot be found
-(e.g. @c version.texi), and a second @c make will "mysteriously" solve
-the problems. The isssue is well-known and expected, if unfortunate.

-The OpenOCD project requires that all developers building from the
-git repository use the @c --enable-maintainer-mode option when
-running the @c configure script. This option ensures that certain files
-are created during the build process that would normally be packaged in

-this requirement when it runs.

-In addition to solving these problems, this option enables Makefile
