FreeBSD sed uses BSD regex which is going to desupport escaping ordinary characters. Previously, \S was treated as S but due to * it was elided. Now that sed aborts the build fails because ac_configure_args ends up empty:

[Beta/Release Uplift Approval Request]

Feature/Bug causing the regression: Bug 975011

User impact if declined: Broken build on FreeBSD 13.0. Can be worked around via sed -> gsed alias/symlink but this can break other software.

Is this code covered by automated tests?: Yes

Has the fix been verified in Nightly?: Yes

Needs manual test from QE?: No

If yes, steps to reproduce: 

List of other uplifts needed: None

Risk to taking this patch: Low

Why is the change risky/not risky? (and alternatives if risky): --with-system-nspr is NPOTB. Otherwise, can only break build.

String changes made/needed: 

[ESR Uplift Approval Request]

If this is not a sec:{high,crit} bug, please state case for ESR consideration: - Facilitate building projects based on ESR e.g., Tor Browser
- Allow building Firefox ESR without downstream patches e.g., for more vanilla experience
