Merge #17769: build: set AC_PREREQ to 2.69

4f4ae6f build: set AC_PREREQ to 2.69 (fanquake)

Pull request description:

  We use build macros such as `AX_CHECK_LINK_FLAG`, that require >=2.64, so our configure should also require Autoconf >= 2.64. The build would already blow up if 2.64 wasn't available. i.e:
  ```bash
  configure.ac:320: error: Autoconf version 2.64 or higher is required
  build-aux/m4/ax_check_link_flag.m4:74: AX_CHECK_LINK_FLAG is expanded from...
  ```
  For reference, Autoconf 2.69 was released in [April of 2012](https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2012-04/msg00041.html).

  See the [Autoconf Versioning docs](https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.69/html_node/Versioning.html) for more info on `AC_PREREQ`.
