extras: tools: add .m4 dependency for .buildautoconf

Autoconf will require m4 to build correctly, and will complain with the
following error, at least starting with Autoconf 2.72, when the system
provided m4 is too old:

    GNU M4 1.4.8 or later is required; 1.4.16 or newer is recommended.
    GNU M4 1.4.15 uses a buggy replacement strstr on some systems.
    Glibc 2.9 - 2.12 and GNU M4 1.4.11 - 1.4.15 have another strstr bug.
    yes
    checking whether stricmp is declared... make: *** [.buildautoconf] Error 1
    make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Ensure that whenever we need to build m4, we build it before autoconf.
