build-sys: require automake 1.12 to get working test-driver

With older automake versions one can end up after ./bootstrap with
situation where test-driver script is missing, and subsequent compilation
fails.  Requiring automake 1.12 should usually help, but unfortunately
the case Dennis reported is different.

Something goes wrong with 1.13 and autoconf 2.69, in 32 bit RHEL system.
That sort of system seems to require AM_PROG_CC_C_O, and even when that
is added following error happens.  It is yet unknown to me why this is
the case.

parallel-tests: error: required file 'build-aux/test-driver' not found
