Use AX_CHECK_ENABLE_DEBUG

Drop use of GNOME_DEBUG_CHECK. Disable pedantic and ANSI C warnings, as
Yelp does not build with them enabled.

+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_CHECK_ENABLE_DEBUG([enable by default=yes/info/profile/no], [ENABLE DEBUG VARIABLES ...], [DISABLE DEBUG VARIABLES NDEBUG ...])
+#
+# 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.
