P2 Badge Regenerate configure for GNU/Hurd support

This new GNU) branch is only added to aclocal.m4, but the checked-in top-level configure script was not regenerated and still has no corresponding GNU) cases. Since users and CI invoke ./configure directly, GNU/Hurd builds will continue to take the old fallback path (WEIRD_OS=yes and default shared-library flags) unless they manually run autotools first; the repo's .github/workflows/misc.yml autotools check also runs misc/runautotools and fails on any resulting diff.
