Fix testsuite failure due to bugs in third-party aclocal macros.

* tests/torture.at (Non-literal AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS): Create a
hand-written aclocal.m4 file, so the -Werror test doesn't fail
over aclocal warnings about errors in third-party macro files.
Simplify test accordingly, calling autoreconf throughout.
Report by Bob Friesenhahn.
