maint: disable syntax checks on local gnulib patches

The syntax checks might trip over problems in the gnulib code itself
when scanning the local patches.  Since it's unlikely these checks
will find anything useful, just disable them for the gl/ patches.

* cfg.mk (VC_LIST_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE_REGEX): Ignore ^gl/.
