The package is not broken on Linux/Darwin, those platforms don't have
COM interfaces. During Octave's "pkg install", it checks for this fact
and will error if they are not available, see below.
```
error: __COM__: Your system doesn't support the COM interface
```
These sources include leftover config.guess and config.sub scripts
generated by upstream maintainer's bootstrap script. Their bootstrap
script uses wget to grab config.guess and config.sub files, which we
cannot do inside the Nix build environment. So we forcibly remove the
config.* scripts and run autoreconf ourselves (through
autoreconfHook).
After final improvements to the official formatter implementation,
this commit now performs the first treewide reformat of Nix files using it.
This is part of the implementation of RFC 166.
Only "inactive" files are reformatted, meaning only files that
aren't being touched by any PR with activity in the past 2 months.
This is to avoid conflicts for PRs that might soon be merged.
Later we can do a full treewide reformat to get the rest,
which should not cause as many conflicts.
A CI check has already been running for some time to ensure that new and
already-formatted files are formatted, so the files being reformatted here
should also stay formatted.
