sim: use AC_CHECK_TOOL to find ar

Rather than require $AR be set and then default to `ar`, use the
standard AC_CHECK_TOOL helper to find a good prefixed tool.  In
practice this shouldn't change much as we seem to have macros in
the tree that were already setting it up, but we shouldn't rely
on that implicitly.
