Teach Bedevere to suggest regenerated `configure` file about bedevere HOT 3 CLOSED

Triggering Bedevere via events will create something like this:

but worse. The whole approach needs to be redesigned.

To modify configure.ac, contributors need to use the https://github.com/tiran/cpython_autoconf Docker image. However, Windows users are out of luck; for my contributions I need to use a throwaway GitHub Actions workflow.

I am not sure for this suggestion.
If user didn't regenerate configure file, how do we can belive that user verify the change in their local environment?

Fortunately, Check if generated files are up to date already prints a diff that perfectly solves the underlying issue without adding anything to Bedevere:

          if test -n "$changes"; then
            echo "Generated files not up to date."
            echo "Perhaps you forgot to run make regen-all or build.bat --regen. ;)"
            echo "configure files must be regenerated with a specific version of autoconf."
            echo "$changes"
            echo ""
            git diff --staged || true
            exit 1
          fi

Thus closing.
