Pick up some build fixes in the latest gnulib. In particular,

automake still hasn't hit common platforms like Fedora 17.
* .gnulib: Update to latest, for Automake CVE-2012-3386 detection.
* bootstrap: Resync from gnulib.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_extra_files): Drop missing, since gnulib
has dropped it in favor of Automake's version.
* cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Conditionally skip the security
check in cases where it doesn't matter.

I'm stoked! I figured out how to upgrade to the latest automake
and make our release process secure (tested with 'make dist' on
a system with insecure automake), without penalizing normal
development (tested with 'make check' on the same system).
ACK, since only 'make dist' people are forced to install new
automake.
