Autotools dependency version undocumented #24209

We document the versions of most dependencies in doc/dependencies.md, but not autotools, which is required to build Bitcoin Core for several releases now since we never fully merged #18818.

~~#24169 mentions autotools currently doesn't support C++20, so it seems like we should figure out and start tracking what minimum version is actually needed so this doesn't catch us by surprise later.~~

Oh, that's good - means we can safely bump it sooner :)

IMO still should get documented ideally tho

I've added autoconf and automake to #23565.
