    gdb/copyright.py: run autoconf
    
    The last new year procedure missed running autoreconf in gnulib/ and
    sim/ to update the Makefile.in files (following the updates of the
    corresponding Makefile.am files).  I propose to make the script run
    `autoreconf -v` to ensure we don't miss those anymore.  It takes a bit
    of time, but that script isn't run very frequently (I'd say more or less
    once a year).
