configure: present some progress status for the detections

The "checking for xxx... [yes|no]" is chosen so that it matches exactly
what GNU Autoconf does. That way, any tools that parse the output will
have less trouble.

This feature is useful for us when debugging a build, as not all checks
produce output in the configure summary.
