remove hard-wired bison lookup, check for "GNU Bison" in $YACC's version output instead
… fixes #386
additional:
- don't check for GNU indent if indent-check already found no indent
- use common wording to check "whether $BINARY is GNU stuff"
You may pass a full path and/or a different name for the Bison executable and/or additional options for the bison executable now.
Tested with Cygwin and Trisquel.

@westes your call: Do you want me to revert that part making configure.ac smaller (it doesn't count for the generated configure script which is much bigger) or stay with what the generated configure script normally does?
Please do so, yes.

I know this is only 40 months old, but as we have a positive review by both @westes and @Explorer09 and a thorough discussion in the related issue - can you please merge this?
Good that other issues were solved by merging PRs that had either a positive review or an actual request to be made (or both, like this one).... in the pure hope that this may be merged I'm sending out a ping @westes again.
Friendly ping @westes as I'm cleaning up my branches...
