Thilo Graf aad2311ebc configure.ac: More API key management security and improve backward compatibility

- GUI management of API keys is now disabled by default for OpenWeather,
  TMDb, OMDb, Shoutcast, and YouTube to enhance security.
  In particular, the risk of accidental activation of GUI-based management
  of API keys should be reduced.
- Introduced warning log messages to inform users about the risks of
  enabling GUI management, which could potentially expose sensitive API
  keys.
- Updated help strings to emphasize safe use of API keys.
- Added notices for users about the possible use of outdated API key
  options.
- Implemented missing backward compatibility for some API option names
  that have changed. This is necessary because build environments
  generated with 'buildenv' do not necessarily adjust automatically to
  the new options. This should prevent the risk of build failures and
  ensure that older configurations remain compatible.

These changes aim to secure configurations better and mitigate the risk
of unintentional exposure of API keys to end users and should avoid build errors.
