build: no more make recursion for 'bin' subdir

* Makefile.am (MOSTLYCLEANFILES): New, to be extended later by
included files.
($(srcdir)/doc/local.mk): New include.
(SUBDIRS): Drop 'bin'.  Adjust comments.
* bin/Makefile.am: Rename ...
* bin/local.mk: ... like this, and adjust.
* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Drop 'bin/Makefile'.
