Subject: [PATCH] automake.in: fix deprecated regex syntax

From: Enrico Jorns <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 14 Jan 2016 12:18:23 +0100

Running automake with perl >= 5.22.0 produces the warning

  Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex;
  marked by <-- HERE in m/\${ <-- HERE ([^ \t=:+{}]+)}/ at
  /ptx/work/dude/ejo/temptest/nodistro.0/sysroots/x86_64-oesdk-linux/usr/bin/automake
  line 3936.

With perl-5.22.0 using a literal '{' in regexp is deprecated and should
be escaped.
This patch escapes the '{' characters to match in the regex of function
`substitute_ac_subst_variables_worker`.
