maint: fix build_programs definition not to use "make -C src ..."

* dist-check.mk (built_programs): There's no need to issue recursive
make calls in 'src/' to define this (in fact, that works no longer
now that 'src/Makefile.am' is gone).  Simply define this to the sorted
contents of $(bin_PROGRAMS), with the 'src/' prefix and the $(EXEEXT)
suffix (if any) removed.  Reported by Jim Meyering.
