package/bison: make installation relocatable

Our current host-bison installation is not relocatable, so if you
generate the SDK, and install it in a different location, bison will
no longer work with failures such as:

bison: /home/user/buildroot/output/host/share/bison/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: cannot open: No such file or directory

This particular issue is already resolved upstream by the addition of
"relocatable" support, which we enable using --enable-relocatable.

Once this issue is fixed, a second one pops up: the path to the m4
program itself is also hardcoded. So we add a patch to fix that as
well. The patch has been submitted upstream, which have requested for
further refinements not applicable to the Buildroot context; in the
meantime, we carry that patch.

Fixes:

+Subject: [PATCH] src: make path to m4 relocatable
+
+Commit a4ede8f85b0c9a254fcb01e5888cee1983095669 ("package: make bison
+a relocatable package") made Bison relocatable, but in fact it still
+contains one absolute reference: the M4 variable, which points to the
+M4 program. Let's fix that by using relocate().
+
+We don't use relocate2() to store the temporary buffer and re-use it,
+because m4path() is only called once.
+
+Upstream: submitted to the bison-patches@gnu.org mailing list
