This patch adds an optional INPUT argument to the end of the AX_CHECK_{PREPROC,COMPILE,LINK}_FLAG macros. It allows the user to specify an alternative input source to AC_{PREPROC,COMPILE,LINK}_IFELSE. The default is to use AC_LANG_PROGRAM(), so the change is fully backward-compatible.

The use case of this change is checking for compiler warning flags, e.g. -Wstrict-prototypes, by compiling with -Wstrict-prototypes -Werror to see if the compiler fails. Unfortunately the default AC_LANG_PROGRAM() is not always warning-safe, e.g. -Wstrict-prototypes will warn on "int main() { ... }", so the compiler will fail even if the warning flag is supported. One can fix this by supplying an input source which compiles with the warning flags one wants to test for, e.g. in this case "int main(void) { ... }".
