pkg-autotools: add support for <pkg>_AUTORECONF_ENV
This commit improves the autotools-package infrastructure to support a <pkg>_AUTORECONF_ENV variable, which allows a package maintainer to pass additional variables in the environment of the autoreconf execution. This is useful in the situation where configure.ac contains shell commands using environment variables that are only executed when autoreconf is run.
