package autotools: Don't depend on $SAGE_LOCAL

[mkoeppe]

The wrapper script installed by our autotools package (from build/pkgs/autotools/autofoo)
depends on the SAGE_LOCAL variable. Not a good idea; we can do better.

(This is a step towards this goal of #21566: "By allowing the user to choose the installation hierarchy, there are new requirements. What is installed there should run without requiring environment variables to be set.")

What is autofoo?

Replying to @embray:

What is autofoo?

It's a script which gets installed as autoconf, automake, ... to automatically run the "correct" version of autoconf, automake, ...

Needs review - which is easy and independent of other build tickets.
Can test by using

  ./sage -f autotools
  export PATH=`pwd`/local/bin:$PATH
  autoreconf

(outside of a sage-sh).

This tiny patch still needs review...

Please bump the package version. We need a way to tell people they have to update their package, adding a .p0 should do just that.
