autotools.eclass: don't inject -I${SYSROOT} to aclocal

When -I${SYSROOT} is injected, it'll override the default of -Im4, which
results in trying to install macros to ${SYSROOT} (a sandbox violation)
when they can't be found.

>From aclocal(1):
```
       -I DIR add directory to search list for .m4 files

       --install
              copy third-party files to the first -I directory
```

The first directory is normally -Im4 if anything, whereas when injected
(when ${SYSROOT} is defined), it ends up being ${SYSROOT}, not m4 (so
we try to copy macros to somewhere outside of the build directory).

[We could drop this just for > EAPI 7, but I'm not sure there's much
point there either. As Chewi observed in bug 677002, you can't
assume they'll be present in ${SYSROOT} anyway, and frankly,
the cross-compilation (and --root, --sysroot, and so on) situation
is rather bleak for earlier EAPIs, which is why we did all that
work for 7.]
