autoconf: remove automake patch enforcing --foreign

Since 2004 we've been carrying a patch[1] make autoreconf pass --foreign to
automake.  Presumably at the time this was due to many upstreams using
hand-coded bootstrap scripts that passed --foreign manually, but we were using
autoreconf.  These days many projects have added foreign to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE and
use autoreconf directly, so this patch isn't as critical as it used to be.
