autotools: generate list of NEWS-xx file during configure

Commit 4fc0f35 ("Makefile.am: fix non-POSIX warning from
automake") uses the BSD make extension '!=' to generate the list
of files NEWS-xx, but it's not POSIX (yet), it's not backward
compatible with GNU make 3.82 (used in CentOS 7, EOL scheduled for
2024) and depending on automake evolution it could trigger again
the warning 'apparently' just fixed.

Move in configure the generation of the file list.
The only drawback is that when a developer adds a new NEWS-xx
file, he/she has to run configure again before 'make distcheck',
otherwise will get failure.
