Commit a22717dffe3 removed the --run argument, since our new preferred
calling conventions now imply it; but if a newer 'missing' is mixed
with an already built project that used an older Automake version, then
the 'Makefile' in that project will fail due to passing the --run
option when trying to bring the project up-to-date.
* lib/missing: Parse and ignore --run.
