Revert "Update dh_auto documentation."
I'm reverting the documentation addition to try doing it
myself, more simply and less verbosely.
This reverts commit 962a2e10c930e3504ea1c0327be2fdf70d53023e.

If no program to run is +found, dh_auto_configure will exit without doing anything. -dh_auto_configure usually pre-configures the source build system with a set of -standard options which most Debian packages need to set anyway.
