[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/2] package/pkg-autotools.mk: set --localstatedir=/var by default

`localstatedir` is a common autoconf variable like prefix and sysconfdir. At 
this time 25 autotools and one generic package uses this Makefile variable. 22 
of the autotools packages use --localstatedir=/var, the remaining use custom 
settings.

Setting `localstatedir` to /var is consistent with the Filesystem Hierarchy 
Standard (FHS). So it's time to move it as a common definition in the 
autotools infrastructure.
