libelf: Update configure script and config.guess and config.sub.

The current configure script is too old to find the cross-compiler
and support variables passed as arguments. Also, config.guess and
config.sub are too old to recognise powerpc64 and aarch64.  Solve
this by regenerating the 'configure' script and replacing
'config.guess' and 'config.sub'.

* gnu/packages/elf.scm
  (libelf)[arguments]<#:phases>{configure}: Remove phase.
  (libelf)[arguments]<#:phases>{delete-configure}: Regenerate
  the configure script and replace 'config.guess' and 'config.sub'.
