[vlc-devel] [RFC] rename contrib/bootstrap to contrib/configure

[Steve Lhomme]

We can fix our own scripts easily (at least a Merge Request on Gitlab 
should validate the changes). I don't know about other build scripts out 
there. But figuring out a file that used to be there is not there 
anymore should be easy.

Also I don't think that many people transitioned to the VLC 4.0 tree yet.

As for creating scripts in general, calling it bootstrap might be 
misleading. Especially since it can create things when no options are 
set, like an actual bootstrap.
