Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Automake AM_CFLAGS, AM_LDFLAGS fixups

Reference: "Flag Variables Ordering"[1]

In automake, if you modify CFLAGS or LDFLAGS of a target you
actually override the autoconf supplied flags. This is highly
none standard and may lead to undesired results, as some
targets will be compiled with the autoconf supplied flags and
some won't.

This patch adds AM_CFLAGS, AM_LDFLAGS to any flags override.

Some notes:

1. Remove none common flags:
-DBLUETOOTH_PLUGIN_BUILTIN -DPLUGINDIR=\""$(build_plugindir)"\"
Moved to bluetoothd only, as BLUETOOTH_PLUGIN_BUILTIN should effect
only sources compiled within it.
And PLUGINDIR is used only by the daemon.

2. More targets now will be compiled with:
@DBUS_CFLAGS@ @GLIB_CFLAGS@ @CAPNG_CFLAGS@
If this is a problem I will add these to specific targets.

3. I am not sure there is a reason to set specific trivial CFLAGS for
simple includes in target specific. Simpler is to put all at AM_CFLAGS.

4. All @XXX_XXFLAGS@ can actually be used as make macros $(XXX_XXFLAGS),
Since AC_SUBST are automatically generated as make macros.

5. Why don't you split up the Makefile.am into smaller by
directory/library? It would be easier to control the setup.
