bpo-13501: allow choosing between readline and libedit (GH-24189)

In contrast to macOS, libedit is available as its own include file and
library on Linux systems to prevent file name clashes. So if both
libraries are available on the system, readline is currently chosen by
default; and if only libedit is available, it is not found at all. This
patch adds a way to link against libedit by adding the following
arguments to configure:

  --with-readline           link against libreadline (the default)
  --with-readline=editline  link against libeditline
  --with-readline=no        disable building the readline module
  --without-readline        (same)

The runtime detection of libedit vs. readline was already done in commit
7105319ada (2019-12-04, serge-sans-paille: "bpo-38634: Allow
non-apple build to cope with libedit (GH-16986)").

Fixes: GH-12076 ("bpo-13501 Build or disable readline with Editline")
Fixes: bpo-13501 ("Make libedit support more generic; port readline / libedit to FreeBSD")
