Commit b9e89b340e27 (sudo: bump version) introduced the explicit build
of mksigname and mksiglist as host tools, as they were required to run
on the build machine, to generate C code then used to build the target
program.

This is now failing to build since the bump to sudo 1.9.15p5 in commit
c87746afefe7 (package/sudo: security bump to version 1.9.15p5)
(lines manually wrapped and slightly elided for ease of reviewing):

    make[2]: *** [Makefile:263: mksigname] Error 1

The core of the issue has not been really identifie, but it turns out
that neither mksiglist nor mksignames is used during the build. This has
been tested with a minimal sudo with no option, and with a sudo with all
options enabled (linux-pam, zlib, opensldap, and openssl), with the
three types of C libraries (glibc, musl, and uClibc-ng).

Digging in the sudo buildsystem did not reveal an obvious reason when
those would be needed either.

Drop the hook now it seems it is no longer used and is atually breasking
the build.

Fixes: http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/72f/72ff18fb9b41394a29006f881ee1fbea67a66a09/

Note that there is a second issue in there: the call to the host cpp
fails, but since it is on the LHS of a pipe, the error is lost, as the
RHS of the pipe (the sed call) succeeds; a fix for that will be send
in a separate patch.
