Allow proper guile selection

Current gnucash configure allows transparent selection of guile-2.0 and guile-1.8 according to which is present on the build system.

While this is fine for development purpose, this is not so nice to control which version to link against when both guile are installed.

This is what we call an automagic dependency:

Here is a patch that allows proper selection of which guile gnucash must be built against with a default to auto which matches current master behavior.

Thank you for your patch and my apologies for not acting on it earlier.

It has been committed and will be part of the next gnucash release.
