[PATCH] Use sed -E to escape variables in auto-load directories.

[PATCH] Use sed -E to escape variables in auto-load directories.

[John Baldwin]

Not all sed implementations support alternation via \| in the default
regular expressions.  However, POSIX ERE available via -E do support
these.  Switch to using POSIX ERE via -E when generating the escaped
versions of the auto-load directories.  This fixes the default setting
of the auto-load directories on FreeBSD.  Previously on FreeBSD the
sed invocation was a no-op causing the debugdir and datadir values to
be expanded yielding an autoload path of ':${prefix}/share/gdb'.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* configure: Re-generate.
	* configure.ac: Use sed -E to escape variables in auto-load
	directories.

Not all sed implementations support -E.

Hmm, the GNU sed manpage on a random Ubuntu box I have claims -E is part of
POSIX, but indeed I can't find it as part of POSIX.  I'll rework this to use
basic regular expressions instead.
