Some upcoming ports (eg. ppc64el) require a new version of libtool.m4,
not just config.{sub,guess}. By using autoreconf instead of
autotools-dev, geos can get these libtool changes for free.

A couple of packaging tweaks were necessary to get geos to build with
dh-autoreconf.

  * Build with dh-autoreconf for new libtool.
    * debian/{control,rules}: Use dh-autoreconf.
    * debian/rules: Update debian/control in clean rather than build*,
      otherwise it triggers a re-configure mid-build.
    * debian/patches/libruby: Patch Makefile.am too, not just Makefile.in.
