build: kill redundant boilerplate in autogen.sh

The auxiliary build directory specified with AC_BUILD_AUX_DIR is
also automatically created AFAICS, so it need not be created
by autogen.sh.

[For directories that are not (such as with AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR),
place an empty .gitignore file in it, so that it always exists.]
