HEADS UP: default CONFIGURE_ARGS (CONFIGURE_TARGET) is updated

[Rong-En Fan]

Dear porters,

I just committed a change that affects all ports that use GNU_CONFIGURE
(include those who use autotools).

The default syntax for CONFIGURE_TARGET in CONFIGURE_ARGS is updated
to use the new syntax for autoconf > 2.13. That is, we will use
--build=${CONFIGURE_TARGET} where applicable. Ports no longer
need to change CONFIGURE_TARGET.

Thanks,
Rong-En Fan

  Log:
  Update CONFIGURE_ARGS for how we pass CONFIGURE_TARGET to configure script.
  Specifically, newer autoconf (> 2.13) has different semantic of the
  configure target. In short, one should use --build=CONFIGURE_TARGET
  instead of CONFIGURE_TARGET directly. Otherwise, you will get a warning
  and the old semantic may be removed in later autoconf releases.
  
  To workaround this issue, many ports hack the CONFIGURE_TARGET variable
  so that it contains the ``--build='' prefix.
  
  To solve this issue, under the fact that some ports still have
  configure script generated by the old autoconf, we use runtime detection
  in the do-configure target so that the proper argument can be used.
  
  Changes to Mk/*:
   - Add runtime detection magic in bsd.port.mk
   - Remove CONFIGURE_TARGET hack in various bsd.*.mk
   - USE_GNOME=gnometarget is now an no-op
  
  Changes to individual ports, other than removing the CONFIGURE_TARGET hack:
  
  = pkg-plist changed (due to the ugly CONFIGURE_TARGET prefix in * executables)
    - comms/gnuradio
    - science/abinit
    - science/elmer-fem
    - science/elmer-matc
    - science/elmer-meshgen2d
    - science/elmerfront
    - science/elmerpost
  
  = use x86_64 as ARCH
    - devel/g-wrap
  
  = other changes
    - print/magicfilter
      GNU_CONFIGURE -> HAS_CONFIGURE since it's not generated by autoconf
  
  Total # of ports modified:  1,027
  Total # of ports affected: ~7,000 (set GNU_CONFIGURE to yes)
