[vlc-devel] [PATCH] configure: remove the CONFIGURE_LINE from the config.h

[Steve Lhomme]

It's already in the config.log

We don't need this information in the logs. In official builds we already know
the value. In custom builds we can always ask for it if we suspect there's a
wrong configuration. Plus it doesn't tell anything about the build environment
which impacts the (un)selected features of the code.
