Required changes:
* Add qualifying '.' to scripts or to @INC, as appropriate since we're
enabling default_inc_excludes_dot;
* Add new platform/library definitions like double-double format and
locale library functions/headers;
* Delete patch 020 as it's been upstreamed;
Optional changes:
* Instead of using -@rm and having that fail, emit an error message,
and be ignored, just use @rm -f instead which will always succeed.

[CVE-2017-12837] Heap buffer overflow in regular expression compiler
Compiling certain regular expression patterns with the case-insensitive
modifier could cause a heap buffer overflow and crash perl. This has
now been fixed. [perl #131582]
[CVE-2017-12883] Buffer over-read in regular expression parser
For certain types of syntax error in a regular expression pattern, the
error message could either contain the contents of a random, possibly
large, chunk of memory, or could crash perl. This has now been fixed.
[perl #131598]
[CVE-2017-12814] $ENV{$key} stack buffer overflow on Windows

The standard way to pass -rdynamic (or -Wl,--dynamic-export) is via
the $ccdlflags variable. Do what is best practice.

This replaces the previously used collection of configuration files for every single
architecture in conjunction with hacky overrides, which became an increasing burden to maintain.
Fixes a number of outstanding bugs and oddities, with the most important one being the
previously wrong signal order(as shown by ext/POSIX/t/sigaction.t).
See files/perlconfig.pl's POD and files/README.config for details.

And also remove all other references to avoid confusion.
libnsl isn't really needed. Removing it allows glibc based
toolchains to build perl.
