tools/automake: move file requirements to higher strictness

GNU standards requires certain files at the top-level directory
of a package that automake is used with, mostly documentation.

If one of these files happens to be missing, autoreconf would fail.

Move these file requirements to the more strict 'GNITS' setting.
