[#3524] workaround for silent rules being ignored in automake 1.17
Also remove all the few other trailing `dnl`s just to be safe.

dnl @summary figure out whether and which "rpath" linker option is available
dnl
dnl This macro checks if the linker supports an option to embed a path
dnl to a runtime library (often installed in an uncommon place), such as the
dnl commonly used -R option. If found, it sets the ISC_RPATH_FLAG variable to
dnl the found option flag. The main configure.ac can use it as follows:
dnl if test "x$ISC_RPATH_FLAG" != "x"; then
dnl LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS ${ISC_RPATH_FLAG}/usr/local/lib/some_library"
dnl fi
dnl
dnl If you pass --disable-rpath to configure, ISC_RPATH_FLAG is not set
