Build fix patch

When building with slibtool instead of GNU libtool the user should be using the rlibtool symlink which will correctly determine if building shared or static libraries from the libtool generated by autotools from LT_INIT in configure.in.

However apache-httpd doesn't call LT_INIT and the generated libtool doesn't exist causing the build to fail. LT_INIT can be simply added to configure.in as shown in the attached patch which will result in the build working just fine with both GNU libtool and slibtool, but with GNU libtool it will end up using the generated libtool rather than /usr/share/apr/build/libtool from the apr package so I am unsure if that is the idea solution?

This was reported for Gentoo here. https://bugs.gentoo.org/858836
