package: make bison a relocatable package
Suggested by David Barto

and Victor Zverovich.

This is very easy to do, thanks to work by Bruno Haible in gnulib.
See "Supporting Relocation" in gnulib's documentation.
* bootstrap.conf: We need relocatable-prog and relocatable-script (for yacc).
* src/yacc.in: New.
* configure.ac, src/local.mk: Instantiate it.
* src/main.c, src/output.c (main, pkgdatadir): Use relocatable2.
* doc/bison.texi (FAQ): Document it.
