[libvirt] [PATCH] build: fix 'make distcheck' with pdwtags installed

I am getting this failure with 'make distcheck':

  GEN    ../../src/remote_protocol-structs
/bin/sh: ../../src/remote_protocol-structs-t: Permission denied
make[4]: *** [../../src/remote_protocol-structs] Error 1

since it attempts a sub-run of a VPATH 'make check' where $(srcdir)
is intentionally read-only.  I'm not sure which commit introduced
the problem, although I suspect it was around 62dee6f when I
refactored protocol struct checking to be more powerful.

$(@F) is required by POSIX, and although it is not yet portable
to all make implementations, we already require GNU make.

* src/Makefile.am (PDWTAGS): Generate temp file into current
directory, since $(srcdir) is read-only during distcheck.
