Update submodules before running external/bdwgc/autogen.sh (#18042)

Otherwise we'll run into issues because in configure.ac we update submodules _after_ we try to call external/bdwgc/configure (which won't be there if autogen.sh didn't run).
This would manifest itself as `*** No rule to make target 'all'.` in external/bdwgc when you build as there's no Makefile.

autogen.sh
