[bug] conf_info 'tools.microsoft.bash:subsystem' from msys2 is not used by Autotools in test_package

See original GitHub issue

Environment Details (include every applicable attribute)

Operating System+version: Windows 11
Compiler+version: MSVC 17
Conan version: 1.51.3
Python version: 3.10.4

Steps to reproduce (Include if Applicable)

Trying to modernize the autoconf recipe of the conan-center-index I get the error

ERROR: autoconf/2.71 (test package): Error in build() method, line 34
        autotools.configure()
        ConanException: The config 'tools.microsoft.bash:subsystem' is needed to run commands in a Windows subsystem

while a log output shows that the conf is set and available:

autoconf/2.71 (test package): tools.microsoft.bash:subsystem: msys2

See https://github.com/Ultimaker/conan-center-index/commit/d33196a921cda81a1f435866bf5ff93e16533485 for the full change
