For a long time, we have been stuck with very old versions of the autoconf 
build-aux (config.guess and config.sub) files. Now we have legal approval for 
updating these files to versions 2022-09-17.

I have gone through all the modifications we are currently applying through the 
wrappers and removed those that aren't needed anymore. Most could be removed, 
but for some we seem to have defined our own platform standard. This means we 
won't be getting rid of the wrapper files anytime soon, if ever. We will likely 
be able to update the autoconf provided files more frequently in the future 
however.

I tested config.guess by putting my own `uname` shell script in the path to 
emulate the output for different platforms. It would still be good if people 
supporting the more unusual platforms could verify that they still work.
