[PATCH 2/2] autoconf: Properly quote logged command line

[Eric Blake]

We were previously logging the wrong command line if the user
invoked any argument with spaces, making it difficult to
re-invoke configure with the same complex arguments. To reproduce,
open any autoconf-using project and run:

$ ./configure FLAGS='foo bar' >/dev/null && grep -m1 /configure config.log
  $ ./configure FLAGS=foo bar

Now we get the expected output:
  $ ./configure 'FLAGS=foo bar'

(Okay, it would be prettier as FLAGS='foo bar' in the output, by
delaying the opening ' until after the first non-alphanumeric or =,
but that is more expensive to produce, and makes no difference to
shell parsing of the pasted line.)

* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_CONFIG_LOG): Use _AS_INVOCATION.
* lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Likewise.

I wonder if it would also be worth updating these two logging points
to include the output of 'date' as a (rough) timestamp of when the
recorded invocation started.
