configure.ac: release 1.5.0

No major features added. The main change is the removal of `mootif` and
`gtk` backends and the build fix for better C23 standard compatibility.

** New `-initramfs` option to pass a separate initramfs file to the
bootloader.

** `--with-gtk` and `--with-x11` `./configure` options (and backend
code) are removed. `xski` binary is not built anymore.

** Build fix against `-std=c23` toolchain.

** Pull in 'bootloader' code from `linux-4.19.241`.

** Switch from `lex` and `yacc` to `flex` and `bison` as dependencies.
