Use system-installed libtool rather than shipping with one

Description
The libtool (ltmain.sh) that comes bundled with libusb-0.1.12 is ancient, and contains several bugs related to cross-compilation.
It would be better to not bundle libtool, since it, like any other tool, is subject to bugs, patches, releases etc.
Just make the host system require that libtool be present prior to building, and use that instead.

Closing this since the code is unmaintained. Someone who needs an updated ltmain.sh from system libtool could always run libtoolize --copy --force before configure.
