This improves error message from autogen.sh when autoconf is too old.

Before:

$ ./autogen.sh
configure.ac:12: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_CHECK_INCLUDES_DEFAULT
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.

After:

$ ./autogen.sh
configure.ac:1: error: Autoconf version 2.70 or higher is required
configure.ac:1: the top level
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 63
aclocal: error: echo failed with exit status: 63
