lib: use list of unsafe chars, not safe ones

* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_CONFIG_LOG):
Rely on list of unsafe chars instead of list of safe ones.
This corresponds more closely to POSIX and should result
in less quoting.
* lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS):
Adjust to this change.
