general-concepts/autotools: use EAPI 8 in examples and autotools.eclass helpers

- Use EAPI 8 in examples
- Use eaclocal, eautoconf
- Define WANT_AUTOCONF/WANT_AUTOMAKE in global scope before inheriting
  autotools.eclass. The eclass declares these as @PRE_INHERIT which
  is necessary for e.g. ensuring dependencies are set.

removed from the examples but a paragraph still still referenced it.
Delete the paragraph.
