bug#17258: autogen.sh doesn't update stale autoconf files in build-aux

In trunk bzr 116975 I changed autogen.sh to use autoreconf's -f option, which should fix the bug. -f won't hurt in the typical case when autogen.sh is being invoked in freshly checked-out sources, and might help in cases where autoreconf itself has been upgraded.

GNU make should do this automatically when things go well, but there are a lot of reasons timestamps can be messed up in a source tree and autogen.sh should try to be helpful when recovering from such problems.
