Deduce a server name when not set in the configuration

Browse Source 
The server "Name" in the "[Global]" section of the configuration file is
optional now: When not set (or empty), ngIRCd now tries to deduce a
valid IRC server name from the local host name ("node name"), possibly
adding a ".host" extension when the host name does not contain a dot
(".") which is required in an IRC server name ("ID").

This new behaviour, with all configuration parameters now being
optional, allows running ngIRCd without any configuration file at all.

release of automake when available to generate our build system.
