Mike Hommey 9ebbe2c5bc Bug 1669633 - Don't recurse into js/src for the python-part of configure. r=firefox-build-system-reviewers,rstewart
Instead, we now run js/src/old-configure from the top-level configure
after having run old-configure and extracted a few variables to inherit
from it.

Because we're now running from the top-level, $_objdir is always the
top-level objdir, which simplifies some things. The topobjdir in
js/src/config.status, however, needs to stay in js/src because of the
build frontend expecting it there.

When running js/src/old-configure, we used to need some special
treatment for a large number of variables for historic reasons, where
we'd take values from the assigned values before running old-configure
for some, or from AC_SUBSTs after running old-configure.

Now that both old-configure and js/src/old-configure get the same
assignments from old-configure.vars, we don't need anything special for
the former. And only a few remaining variables still need manual work
for the latter.

One notable difference, though, is that the new code doesn't try to
avoid running js subconfigure, which added complexity, and was actually
error-prone.
