Provide possibility to use libedit instead of libreadline

Łukasz Majewski requested to merge lmajewski/NetworkManager:nmcli_libedit into main

This patch series provides the possibility to use libedit instead of libreadline. The problem is that the latter library has GPLv3 license, which is not acceptable on some use cases. As a result the BSD licensed libedit is used instead.

To achieve this goal some adjustments in the nmcli program code has been done - mostly to disable rich features provided by libreadline or replace them with libedit code.

Moreover, some fixes for autoconf have been provided.

This PR is a follow up of earlier one: !807 (closed)
