** [tickets:#285] bootstrap fails if "install.sh" in parent directory**

I've just spent hours tearing my hair out wondering why my build was suddenly
failing. It turns out that if there is a file called `install.sh` in the parent
of the build directory then `glibtoolize` decides to copy `ltmain.sh` into that
directory, which then causes automake to fail with
`configure.ac:37: error: required file './ltmain.sh' not found`
Steps to reproduce;
```
$ git clone https://git.code.sf.net/p/openocd/code openocd-code
$ touch install.sh
$ cd openocd-code
$ ./bootstrap
```
Fails with the above error and now `../ltmain.sh` exists instead of
`./ltmain.sh`.
I fixed this by adding `AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR([.])` on line 5 of `configure.ac`,
which ensures it doesn't use `..` instead of `.`.
