[Buildroot] [PATCH] Update config.sub even if we called autoreconf

Hi all,

If a package asks for autoreconf to be called and the user has also
asked for the config.{sub,guess} to be updated then the
config.{sub,guess} will be copied but overwritten by the autoreconf.
This patch does a second copy after the autoreconf to make sure the
user preference is preserved. I think this is safe to do because
nothing in the autoreconf directly depends upon the contents of
config.sub.
