Fix porting check for dots in directory names.

The existing check conflated two different potential problems,
multiple dots in a filename and dots in a directory name.

Multiple dots in a filename can cause various kinds of trouble,
depending on the VMS filesystem in use, but there are workarounds
for older filesystems and this problem is unlikely to cause a
build failure, so it's probably too stringent to make a test
fail when we find them (and there are lots of examples already
in the repository).

*Any* dots in a directory name are problematic because dot is the
directory delimiter.  Newer (ODS-5) filesystems can handle these
if escaping is done but older (ODS-2) filesystems can't and the
manifest checker in configure.com can't.  In other words, the
build falls down hard in this case.

The existing test was checking for multiple dots in a directory
name but not checking the filename at all.  I've changed it to
check for any dots in a directory name.

code to ignore comments and other text that did not look like symbols.

An analogous alternative routine to add symbols to the export list,
emit_symbols(), was added to blead 6 days earlier in commit 51371543ca1a75ed.

As makedef.pl no longer uses <DATA>, and reading from external files is
nicely encapsulated, all this vestigial code can be removed.

Technical debt from 1997 and 1999 finally being eliminated.

In makedef.pl, inline skip_symbols.

All skip_symbols() did was add to the hash of symbols to skip the list it was
passed.

In makedef.pl, readvar now returns a list, not an array reference.

Convert it from a loop to a map. Refactor its callers to use its results
directly, instead of assigning to a lexical variable which is used only once.
