config/3958: configure silently ignores "--enable-XXX" options where XXX is unknown

>Description:
If I mistype:
./configure --enable-module=mod-speling
as:
./configure --enable-modules=mod-speling
I get no error, but apache builds without mod-speling. In fact --enable-XXX
is ignored if XXX is unknown. I think this deserves an error message to avoid
the pitfall of mis-spelling a --enable-XXX option and having it ignored.
There are similar issues for --disable-XXX.
>How-To-Repeat:
./configure --enable-modules=mod-speling
>Fix:
Add a "*)" catch-all to report this error at lines 711 and 769 of configure.
