    Bug 1677797 - Change autoconf to avoid using a hard-coded file descriptor. r=glandium, a=RyanVM
    
    In Bug 1671424 we changed the way we configure firefox and it broke the codeql database
    generation job. This job wraps the entire build process in a way similar to
      codeql --command="./mach build"
    
    Specifically, the previous way we executed the configure shell script made codeql
    disable itself because it was named configure (codeql disables itself during
    configuration.)
    
    codeql injects via LD_PRELOAD, and it opens a configuration file and a logging file
    (getting fd 3 and 4 respectively.)
    
    autoconf grabs file descriptor 4 and uses it a temporary redirection point either
    to a file or stdout. When it does so, it closes the original file descriptor 4 and
    points it at the new location, which also affects the codeql code, resulting in
    undesired logging output going into the configure script.
    
    Because this file descriptor trick is only used to avoid duplicating a few lines of
    code, I removed the trick and duplicated the code.
