gnu: autoconf: Support cross-build.

Autoconf does not cross-built properly: it lacks the concept of
<tool>-for-build.  It runs the host `autom4te' (a perl script) during build.

* gnu/packages/autotools.scm (autoconf)[inputs]: Add bash-minimal, perl, and
m4.  To avoid triggering a rebuild, do this while cross-compiling only.
[arguments]: When cross-building, add `patch-non-shebang-references' phase to
substitute the host bash, m4 and perl.
