Fix Autotools -Werror cleanup

  The Autotools temporarily scrub -Werror(=whatever) from CFLAGS, etc.
  so configure checks don't trip over warnings generated by configure
  check programs. The sed line originally only scrubbed -Werror but not
  -Werror=something, which would cause errors when the '=something' was
  left behind in CFLAGS.

  The sed line has been updated to handle -Werror=something lines.

  Fixes one issue raised in HDFGroup#3872
