configure: fix sys/sysmacros.h check

by Adam Jackson.

Commit 43c5a65b034a243700cf9c5bfbe6bcefb15f1161 "configure.ac: use
AC_HEADER_MAJOR to detect major()/minor()" started using AC_HEADER_MAJOR
to detect the header where major() is defined. This caused a regression
on systems where glibc is still providing a deprecated definition of
major() through sys/types.h, leading to a bunch of compiler warnings:

/home/pq/git/weston/libweston/launcher-logind.c: In function ‘launcher_logind_open’:
/home/pq/git/weston/libweston/launcher-logind.c:182:13: warning: In the GNU C Library, "major" is defined
 by <sys/sysmacros.h>. For historical compatibility, it is
 currently defined by <sys/types.h> as well, but we plan to
 remove this soon. To use "major", include <sys/sysmacros.h>
 directly. If you did not intend to use a system-defined macro
 "major", you should undefine it after including <sys/types.h>.
  fd = launcher_logind_take_device(wl, major(st.st_rdev),

The issue has been discussed earlier on
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2016-09/msg00013.html

Work around the issue by causing the warning to trigger a build failure
inside AC_HEADER_MAJOR test, so that we get MAJOR_IN_SYSMACROS defined.
