    autogen.sh: Add -I option to tell aclocal a place for external m4 files


... bootstrapping in a clean git checkout fails:

sam at droopy:~/build/src/fontconfig $ ./autogen.sh 
I am going to run ./configure with no arguments - if you wish 
to pass any to it, please specify them on the ./autogen.sh command line.
Running aclocal -I m4
aclocal: couldn't open directory 'm4': No such file or directory


Creating the directory fixes the problem. It would make life easier for people
who build directly from git if this directory could be present in the git tree
to prevent the error. Since git doesn't track empty directories, it would need
a dummy file inside too. Another option would be to add 'mkdir -p m4' to the
top of autogen.sh.

Thanks!
