Add a setup hook that automatically sets up $CLASSPATH

All JARs in $pkg/share/java (for each $pkg in the build inputs) are
added to $CLASSPATH.  Thus, you can say

  buildInputs = [ setJavaClassPath someJavaDependency ];

and the JARs in someJavaDependency will be found automatically by
tools like javac or ant.

Note that the manual used to say that JARs should be installed in
lib/java; this is now share/java, following the Debian policy:

  http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/java-policy/x110.html

The directory share/java makes more sense because JARs are
architecture-independent.  (Also, a quick grep shows that we were not
exactly consistent about this in Nixpkgs.)

Rename buildNativeInputs -> nativeBuildInputs

Likewise for propagatedBuildNativeInputs, etc.  "buildNativeInputs"
sounds like an imperative rather than a noun phrase.

* Add a setup hook ‘autoreconfHook’ to simplify packages that need to

run autoreconf:

    buildInputs = [ autoreconfHook ];

  is essentially equivalent to

    buildInputs = [ autoconf automake libtool ];
    preConfigure = "autoreconf -i";
