build: fix rebuild rules for Makefile.in and aclocal.m4

They have been broken after our removal of the 'perllibdir' hack
in yesterday's commit v1.12.4-45-g4872dfe.

* configure.ac: Rather then redefining AUTOMAKE and ACLOCAL to
explicitly override the perllibdir, the acdir and the libdir, use
the ready-made t/wrap/{aclocal,automake}-$APIVERSION scripts.
* NEWS: Document the fix.
