Use autotools instead of a makefile

[CreRecombinase]

This is a really great library. I was working on something similar myself, (way less ambitious, way less impressive), but I think I'd rather drop that and help out with this if you're game. Having an autotools style way of making binaries (./configure --prefix=wherever && make) might help drive adoption a little bit. What do you think?

This looks great @CreRecombinase . I'll have a look at it today

I get
/tmp/tachyon/.libs/tachyon: error while loading shared libraries: libxxhash.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
when trying to compile.

That's likely because xxHash is installed somewhere outside what's pointed to by LD_LIBRARY_PATH. One way around that would be to vendor xxHash(e.g include it as a submodule). Might as well throw in zstd and htslib too.
