Bug#1016486: wayfire: please make the build reproducible

Source: wayfire
Version: 0.7.4-1

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
wayfire could not be built reproducibly.

This is because it embedded an absolute build path into a config.h
file. A patch is attached that fixes this value to a known/fixed
value — the absolute build path won't exist at runtime anyway, so
this is at least "no worse".
