reproducible build system (#4294)

- Move `m4` dir to `build/m4` to clean TLD
- create `build/build.sh` script which builds netdata in docker container
- create `build/Dockerfile` which creates reproducible build environment
- exclude `.lgtm.yml` from final package
- use `.tar.gz` package in `netdata.spec.in` as `*.xz` and `*.bz2` will be removed due to #3913

What it does is simple, you don't need any libraries installed on host to build netdata as they are provided inside a container.

+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   Check whether the given FLAG works with the current language's compiler
+#   or gives an error.  (Warnings, however, are ignored)
+#
+#   ACTION-SUCCESS/ACTION-FAILURE are shell commands to execute on
+#   success/failure.
+#
+#   If EXTRA-FLAGS is defined, it is added to the current language's default
+#   flags (e.g. CFLAGS) when the check is done.  The check is thus made with
+#   the flags: "CFLAGS EXTRA-FLAGS FLAG".  This can for example be used to
+#   force the compiler to issue an error when a bad flag is given.
+#
+#   INPUT gives an alternative input source to AC_COMPILE_IFELSE.
+#
+#   NOTE: Implementation based on AX_CFLAGS_GCC_OPTION. Please keep this
+#   macro in sync with AX_CHECK_{PREPROC,LINK}_FLAG.

+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_CHECK_ENABLE_DEBUG([enable by default=yes/info/profile/no], [ENABLE DEBUG VARIABLES ...], [DISABLE DEBUG VARIABLES NDEBUG ...], [IS-RELEASE])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   Check for the presence of an --enable-debug option to configure, with
+#   the specified default value used when the option is not present.  Return
+#   the value in the variable $ax_enable_debug.
+#
+#   Specifying 'yes' adds '-g -O0' to the compilation flags for all
+#   languages. Specifying 'info' adds '-g' to the compilation flags.
+#   Specifying 'profile' adds '-g -pg' to the compilation flags and '-pg' to
+#   the linking flags. Otherwise, nothing is added.
+#
+#   Define the variables listed in the second argument if debug is enabled,
+#   defaulting to no variables.  Defines the variables listed in the third
+#   argument if debug is disabled, defaulting to NDEBUG.  All lists of
+#   variables should be space-separated.
+#
+#   If debug is not enabled, ensure AC_PROG_* will not add debugging flags.
+#   Should be invoked prior to any AC_PROG_* compiler checks.
+#
+#   IS-RELEASE can be used to change the default to 'no' when making a
+#   release.  Set IS-RELEASE to 'yes' or 'no' as appropriate. By default, it
+#   uses the value of $ax_is_release, so if you are using the AX_IS_RELEASE
+#   macro, there is no need to pass this parameter.

+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_GCC_FUNC_ATTRIBUTE(ATTRIBUTE)
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   This macro checks if the compiler supports one of GCC's function
+#   attributes; many other compilers also provide function attributes with
+#   the same syntax. Compiler warnings are used to detect supported
+#   attributes as unsupported ones are ignored by default so quieting
+#   warnings when using this macro will yield false positives.
+#
+#   The ATTRIBUTE parameter holds the name of the attribute to be checked.
+#
+#   If ATTRIBUTE is supported define HAVE_FUNC_ATTRIBUTE_<ATTRIBUTE>.
+#
+#   The macro caches its result in the ax_cv_have_func_attribute_<attribute>
+#   variable.
+#
+#   The macro currently supports the following function attributes:
+#
+#    alias
+#    aligned
+#    alloc_size
+#    always_inline
+#    artificial
+#    cold
+#    const
+#    constructor
+#    constructor_priority for constructor attribute with priority
+#    deprecated
+#    destructor
+#    dllexport
+#    dllimport
+#    error
+#    externally_visible
+#    flatten
+#    format
+#    format_arg
+#    gnu_inline
+#    hot
+#    ifunc
+#    leaf
+#    malloc
+#    noclone
+#    noinline

+#    unused
+#    used
+#    visibility
+#    warning
+#    warn_unused_result
+#    weak
+#    weakref
+#
+#   Unsuppored function attributes will be tested with a prototype returning
+#   an int and not accepting any arguments and the result of the check might
+#   be wrong or meaningless so use with care.

+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_PTHREAD([ACTION-IF-FOUND[, ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND]])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   This macro figures out how to build C programs using POSIX threads. It
+#   sets the PTHREAD_LIBS output variable to the threads library and linker
+#   flags, and the PTHREAD_CFLAGS output variable to any special C compiler
+#   flags that are needed. (The user can also force certain compiler
+#   flags/libs to be tested by setting these environment variables.)
+#
+#   Also sets PTHREAD_CC to any special C compiler that is needed for
+#   multi-threaded programs (defaults to the value of CC otherwise). (This
+#   is necessary on AIX to use the special cc_r compiler alias.)
+#
+#   NOTE: You are assumed to not only compile your program with these flags,
+#   but also link it with them as well. e.g. you should link with
+#   $PTHREAD_CC $CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS $LDFLAGS ... $PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS
+#
+#   If you are only building threads programs, you may wish to use these
+#   variables in your default LIBS, CFLAGS, and CC:
+#
+#     LIBS="$PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS"
+#     CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS"
+#     CC="$PTHREAD_CC"
+#
+#   In addition, if the PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE thread-attribute constant
+#   has a nonstandard name, defines PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE to that name
+#   (e.g. PTHREAD_CREATE_UNDETACHED on AIX).
+#
+#   Also HAVE_PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT is defined if pthread is found and the
+#   PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT symbol is defined when compiling with
+#   PTHREAD_CFLAGS.
+#
+#   ACTION-IF-FOUND is a list of shell commands to run if a threads library
+#   is found, and ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND is a list of commands to run it if it
+#   is not found. If ACTION-IF-FOUND is not specified, the default action
+#   will define HAVE_PTHREAD.
+#
+#   Please let the authors know if this macro fails on any platform, or if
+#   you have any other suggestions or comments. This macro was based on work
+#   by SGJ on autoconf scripts for FFTW (http://www.fftw.org/) (with help
+#   from M. Frigo), as well as ac_pthread and hb_pthread macros posted by
+#   Alejandro Forero Cuervo to the autoconf macro repository. We are also
+#   grateful for the helpful feedback of numerous users.
