[svn-r26100] Removed maintainer mode (AM_MAINTAINER_MODE) from configure.ac.

This is no longer needed since we don't check in generated files anymore.
Actually, it was not really recommended in the first place:

-## AM_MAINTAINER_MODE turns off "rebuild rules" that contain dependencies
-## for Makefiles, configure, src/H5config.h, etc.  If AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
-## is *not* included here, these files will be rebuilt if out of date.
-## This is a problem because if users try to build on a machine with
-## the wrong versions of autoconf and automake, these files will be
-## rebuilt with the wrong versions and bad things can happen.
-## Also, CVS doesn't preserve dependencies between timestamps, so
-## Makefiles will often think rebuilding needs to occur when it doesn't.
-## Developers should './configure --enable-maintainer-mode' to turn on
-## rebuild rules.
