Viktor Szakats 8db0e286b3 autotools: tidy-up if expressions ...

- drop x-hacks for curl internal variables and certain autotools ones
  that do not hold custom values.
- make x-hacks consistently use `"x$var" = "xval"` style.
- add a few x-hacks for input/external variables that may hold custom
  values.
- prefer `-z` and `-n` to test empty/non-empty.
  This also makes some x-hacks unnecessary.
- optimized negated test `-z` and `-n` options.
- prefer `&&` and `||` over `-a` and `-o`.
  For better POSIX compatibility:

- quote variables passed to `test`, where missing.
- quote string literals in comparisons.
- fix some indentation, whitespace.

Note that a few `case` statements also use the x-hack, which looks
unnecessary. This patch does not change them.

Verified by comparing feature detection results with a reference CI run
from before this patch (PR #19922).
