Fix: libnuma is prepended to LIBS

The default behavior, for AC_CHECK_LIB when the `action-if-found` is NOT
defined, is to prepend the library to LIBS. [1]

"
If action-if-found is not specified, the default action prepends
-llibrary to LIBS and defines ‘HAVE_LIBlibrary’ (in all capitals).
"

It is important to note that the LIBS variable is used for ALL linking.

This is normally not a problem for most distribution since they force
the use of `--as-needed` at the toolchain level (gcc specs) (for example
debian [2]). One could also pass the `--as-needed` flag manually but
libtool reorganize flags in the case of shared object creation [3].

In our case, we always explicitly state the dependencies via the *_LIBADD
automake clause. We do not rely on the LIBS variable.

Simply force the define of HAVE_LIBNUMA to prevent the prepending to
LIBS.
