Build: Fix --disable-threads breaking the building of shared libs.

This is broken in the releases 5.2.6 to 5.4.2. A workaround
for these releases is to pass EGREP='grep -E' as an argument
to configure in addition to --disable-threads.

The problem appeared when m4/ax_pthread.m4 was updated in
the commit 6629ed929cc7d45a11e385f357ab58ec15e7e4ad which
introduced the use of AC_EGREP_CPP. AC_EGREP_CPP calls
AC_REQUIRE([AC_PROG_EGREP]) to set the shell variable EGREP
but this was only executed if POSIX threads were enabled.
Libtool code also has AC_REQUIRE([AC_PROG_EGREP]) but Autoconf
omits it as AC_PROG_EGREP has already been required earlier.
Thus, if not using POSIX threads, the shell variable EGREP
would be undefined in the Libtool code in configure.

ax_pthread.m4 is fine. The bug was in configure.ac which called
AX_PTHREAD conditionally in an incorrect way. Using AS_CASE
ensures that all AC_REQUIREs get always run.

Thanks to Frank Busse for reporting the bug.
