build: perform check-AUTHORS via syntax-check, not via "make check"

* src/Makefile.am (check): Don't depend on check-AUTHORS.
That check fails on systems for which a program like stdbuf is
not built.  Instead, move this check to "make syntax-check".
(sc_check-AUTHORS): Rename rule from check-AUTHORS.
* cfg.mk (sc_check-AUTHORS): New rule.
