This patch changes configure.ac to look for '${host}-ar' as set by
AC_CANONICAL_HOST before looking for the unprefixed 'ar'.
This is useful when cross-compiling when all your binutils are prefixed.
I used AC_CHECK_TOOLS instead of AC_CHECK_TOOL, since autoconf docs say
that the former calls AC_SUBST.
Applies to OpenSSH portable 6.3p1
