Fix wheel build to work with automake 1.16.4

Leo P. Singer requested to merge leo-singer/lalsuite:wheel-automake-1.16.4 into master

Description

Fix wheel build to work with automake 1.16.4

Automake 1.16.4 included the following change (https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/automake.git/tree/NEWS):

The PYTHON_PREFIX and PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX variables are now set from Python's sys.prefix and sys.exec_prefix; use the new configure options --with-python_prefix and --with-python_exec_prefix to specify explicitly.

This required some changes to how the our build system expands autoconf/automake variables to generate the setup.py script for the wheel build.

See #459 (closed).
