Use gnuconfig package for config file replacement (#26035)
* Use gnuconfig package for config file replacement Currently the autotools build system tries to pick up config.sub and config.guess files from the system (in /usr/share) on arm and power. This is introduces an implicit system dependency which we can avoid by distributing config.guess and config.sub files in a separate package, such as the new `gnuconfig` package which is very lightweight/text only (unlike automake where we previously pulled these files from as a backup). This PR adds `gnuconfig` as an unconditional build dependency for arm and power archs. In case the user needs a system version of config.sub and config.guess, they are free to mark `gnuconfig` as an external package with the prefix pointing to the directory containing the config files: ```yaml gnuconfig: externals: - spec: gnuconfig@master prefix: /tmp/tmp.ooBlkyAKdw/lol buildable: false ``` Apart from that, this PR gives some better instructions for users when replacing config files goes wrong. * Mock needs this package too now, because autotools adds a depends_on * Add documentation * Make patch_config_files a prop, fix the docs, add integrations tests * Make macOS happy
