build: Create `noinst_LTLIBRARIES` conditionally #25037

After #24322, libraries, which were promoted from EXTRA_LIBRARIES to noinst_LTLIBRARIES, are built regardless whether they are actually required as dependencies.

This PR makes build system to create such libraries conditionally.

Some other improvements of configure.ac are incorporated in this PR.

A use case example:

• on master (9ba73758c908ce0c49f1bd9727ea496958e24d54)

./configure \
  --disable-tests \
  --disable-bench \
  --without-libs \
  --without-daemon \
  --without-gui \
  --disable-fuzz-binary \
  --without-utils \
  --enable-util-util
...
configure: error: No targets! Please specify at least one of: --with-utils --with-libs --with-daemon --with-gui --enable-fuzz(-binary) --enable-bench or --enable-tests

• with this PR the configure script finishes successfully, and the bitcoin-util binary can be built.

~0. I don't think introducing the macro, and tying it into the boost usage check is much of an improvement. It also means it becomes harder to remove targets from that list when they become Boost-free?

The bitcoin-util bug (i.e configure failing with the invocation from the PR description), can be fixed with this diff:
