libgmp: link to the correct shared library

>       (main): Verify that gmp.h and libgmp versions match.

This test fails when I build this gnulib module in my usual way:
  ./configure --prefix=/PREFIX64 \
              CPPFLAGS="-I/PREFIX64/include -Wall" \
              LDFLAGS="-L/PREFIX64/lib"

It reports:
  gmp header version (6.2.0) does not match gmp library version (6.1.0).

The reason is that I have installed a GMP 6.2.0 in --prefix=/PREFIX64,
but since no -rpath options are passed to the linker when creating the
test program, the test program is linked against the GMP 6.1.2 found
in /usr:

$ ldd test-libgmp
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007ffd529f4000)
        libgmp.so.10 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgmp.so.10 
(0x00007f13fd097000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f13fcccd000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f13fd317000)

We don't want to prevent users from installing their own copies of system
libraries. This is
  - one of the principal user freedoms,
  - needed for hackers to use the newest versions of system libraries.

And, as we all know, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not the real solution.

This patch fixes the issue.

        libgmp: Link to the correct shared library.
        * m4/libgmp.m4 (gl_LIBGMP): Invoke AC_LIB_HAVE_LINKFLAGS.
        * modules/libgmp (Depends-on): Add havelib.
        (Link): Mention $(LIBGMP) and $(LTLIBGMP).
        * modules/libgmp-tests (Makefile.am): Link test-libgmp with $(LIBGMP).
