build: fix automake error due to missing ChangeLog

Apparently, Automake does not accept the '$(srcdir)/ChangeLog'
target in Makefile.am as a declaration that ChangeLog is
automatically generated (and thus does not need to exist at
automake time).  One has to use a *literal* 'ChangeLog' target.

Problem introduced in commit v2.68-118-g6ed5195 of 2012-01-17,
"maint: generate ChangeLog from git log".

* Makefile.ma ($(srcdir)/ChangeLog): Renamed ...
(ChangeLog): ... to this.
