configure: Add readelf fallback for HAVE_AS_ULEB128 test [PR119367]
The following patch adds a readelf fallback if objdump nor otool don't
exist. All of GNU binutils readelf, eu-readelf and llvm-readelf can
handle it with those options.

* configure.ac (gcc_cv_as_leb128): Add fallback using readelf.
Grammar fix in comment.
* configure: Regenerate.
