PKGBUILD Fix for v21

The current PKGBUILD fails to build because upstream changed the tarball structure in v21: * v20: extracted to dh-autoreconf-20/ * v21: extracts to work/

Additionally, v21 introduces two new files that need to be installed per the Debian package manifest: * autoreconf.mk → /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/autoreconf.mk * ltmain-as-needed.diff → /usr/share/dh-autoreconf/ltmain-as-needed.diff

Changes Required: 1. Fix source directory path in package() function 2. Install autoreconf.mk for CDBS integration 3. Install ltmain-as-needed.diff patch file

Building version 21 doesn’t work for me, apparently the directory inside the tarball was renamed.

(Might just be a temporary thing for this release – it does look like it could have been an accident.)
