Configuration: improved warning when TeX Live couldn't be installed
Once a year, the texlive update system becomes incompatible with the version from the previous year. Since a texlive install failure is considered non-fatal by 'high-level.mk', so until now, the user could miss the printed message and mistakenly believe that the configure is valid. This commit explicitly adds a 10-second delay that should be enough for a user who does the 'configure --existing-conf' step alone to notice that there is a TeX Live problem. It also adds the explicit instruction of how to allow an update from an earlier year's texlive installer to the warning message (by deleting '.build/software/tarballs/install-tl-unx.tar.gz'). I had to rediscover this a few times for old Maneage installs. Also, a few lines in 'reproduce/software/shell/configure.sh' were indented with a TAB (that is not recommended because TAB is displayed with different widths on different browsers). So while doing this commit, those TABs were also converted to a space.
