Quote macro argument to AC_ARG_WITH()

Martijn Pieters requested to merge mjpieters/libvfp-brotli:configure_quoting into master

On some autoconf versions (e.g. 2.71 on MacOS, installed with brew install autoconf), not quoting this argument results in a syntax error in configure:

sh configure
# ...
checking for joinable pthread attribute... PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE
checking whether more special flags are required for pthreads... no
checking for PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT... yes
configure: line 14927: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
configure: line 14927: `    '''

Adding [...] quotes fixes this; see https://gerrit.openafs.org/#/c/9995/ for a similar problem in a different OSS project.
