Add note about automake 1.14 to configure.ac

The note has the details, but I wasn't able to get gnucash to build with
automake 1.14 without passing --disable-dependency-tracking regardless of
whether I used the subdir-objects option. If I could figure out a good way
to poison configure with automake 1.14 I would.
