Use of PKG_NAME is deprecated in GNOME 3 and produced this warning:

    $ ./autogen.sh
    /usr/bin/gnome-autogen.sh
    /usr/bin/yelp-build
    ***Warning*** PKG_NAME is deprecated, you may remove it from autogen.sh
    ...

Now that GParted is a GNOME 3 application with GNOME 3 yelp-tools
managed documentation this is redundant and can be removed.  Previous
further analysis:

    GNOME Bugzilla, Bug 743318, comment 18
    https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=743318#c18
    "
    PKG_NAME is still used in GNOME 2.28's gnome-autogen.sh in error
    messages.  (GNOME 3's gnome-autogen.sh queries it from configure.ac
    instead of requiring it to be set).
    "

Also confirmed that it makes no difference by running ./autogen.sh with
and without PKG_NAME being set.  The produced GParted build trees were
the same.  Therefore the release and executable can't be affected.
