a/kernel-generic-5.10.7-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.

ap/sudo-1.9.5p1-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
Fixed a regression introduced in sudo 1.9.5 where the editor run by sudoedit
was set-user-ID root unless SELinux RBAC was in use. The editor is now run
with the user's real and effective user-IDs.
d/autoconf-2.69-noarch-2.txz: Rebuilt.
We're seeing failures using autoconf-2.70 with some packages that use
autoreconf. It looks like most distributions have not moved on to
autoconf-2.70, and probably we shouldn't either until the next release cycle.
Thanks to nobodino.
d/kernel-headers-5.10.7-x86-1.txz: Upgraded.
e/emacs-27.1-x86_64-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Increase SYSTEM_PURESIZE_EXTRA to 100000 to avoid overflows. Nobody should be
too concerned about adding 97K to emacs' memory footprint given the amount of
memory available on modern machines. Thanks to Jefferson for the bug report.
