bootstrap: accommodate older libtool

RHEL 5 still ships with libtool 1.5.22, where libtoolize lacks the
--install option but has that behavior by default.  And gnulib's
DEPENDENCIES file states that we still support that old of libtool
as our minimum version.

* build-aux/bootstrap (use_libtool): Cater to libtool 1.5.22.
Reported by Daniel P. Berrange.
