Have autoreconf fail if LT_INIT is not defined

If the LT_INIT macro is not available in a *.m4 file to be found during the autoreconf run, it is impossible to build a useful configure script. Therefore, we blacklist the LT_INIT macro so when it appears unexpanded in the configure script, autoreconf will report the failure instead of silently creating a broken configure. This is generally a good idea for any macro not shipped with Automake or Autoconf.
