Renaming the reconf script to align more closely with autotools
standards.
There are certain conventions users expect when working with a project
that uses autotools. Deviating from those conventions adds confusion and
complexity to a project. krb5 deviates from those conventions in several
ways. In an effort to try to simplify the krb5 build, I am moving and
renaming the src/util/reconf script to src/bootstrap. The bootstrap name
was chosen since the Autotools documentation says it is the preferred
name. For more information on this please see:
