Remove Autotools sed hack (#3848)
configure.ac contains a sed line that cleans up incorrect library flags which was added to paper over some bugs in earlier versions of the Autotools. These issues are not a problem with the current versions of the Autootols. The sed line causes problems on MacOS, so it has been removed. Fixes #3843

Configuration
-------------
+ - Removed an Autotools configure hack that causes problems on MacOS
+
+ A sed line in configure.ac was added in the past to paper over some
+ problems with older versions of the Autotools that would add incorrect
+ linker flags. This hack is not needed with recent versions of the
+ Autotools and the sed line errors on MacOS (though this was a silent
+ error that didn't break the build) so the hack has been removed.
+
+ Fixes GitHub issue #3843

- Fixed an issue where the h5tools_test_utils test program was being
installed on the system for Autotools builds of HDF5
