configure: Require @clicksequence to be present.

Occasionally someone tries to build with a really old Texinfo.  It doesn't
work now, although it once did, but before this commit it would
successfully configure.  By preventing configure from finishing, I think
that this will produce a clearer error message earlier in the build
process, ultimately making life easier for users.

Bug #59818.
