gh-115806: Don't mangle gdbm header dependency detection output (#129390)

Replace AC_CACHE_VAL/AC_CHECK_HEADER with a cleaner variant using
AC_CACHE_CHECK/AC_PREPROC_IFELSE.

The former would produce garbled output when config.cache was reused. It
also required directly manipulating GNU Autoconf cache variables.
