In makedef.pl, eliminate now-superfluous chomp and file-content processing.
emit_symbol() would chomp every symbol passed to it. The chomp was added in
3e3baf6d63945cb6, in the refactoring which replaced print statements with
emit_symbol(), because its callers (still) passed it the values previously
printed, values generated from the lines of files. The chomp in emit_symbol()
probably should have been removed as part of
22239a37ce131e4f, which unified
the code that parsed external files, adding chomp there, and added chomp to
the code which read from <DATA>.
The chomp of <DATA> added in
22239a37ce131e4f was moved wholesale with all
the file-content specific processing into a new routine try_symbol() in
commit
549a6b102c2ac8c4 on the cfgperl branch. That commit and subsequent
commits used try_symbol() as the general-purpose routine to add symbols to
the export list, even though it also had all the specific file processing
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.

Use a plain alternation, instead of trying to "optimise", as the trie compiler
can do a much better job than a human.

In makedef.pl, default $CCTYPE early, and process $TARG_DIR unconditionally.
$TARG_DIR is only passed in on Win32, WinCE and NetWare, so it doesn't need to
protected by conditional code. $CCTYPE is only meaningful on Win32 and WinCE, so
there's no harm in defaulting it to 'MSVC' everywhere. (Strictly, defaulting it
to anything that isn't 'GCC' as there is a non-platform protected check for
that)

In makedef.pl use %export instead of output_symbol() for platform specific code.
Previously Win32, WinCE and NetWare were calling output_symbol() directly in
platform specific code blocks, instead of using the general-purpose
emit_symbol(). export_symbol() does nothing other than add keys to %export,
which is already manipulated directly in other parts of the code, so inline it.

No need for makedef.pl to invoke $^X -V to get 'Compile-time options'.
Config now exposes this as Config::bincompat_options() and
Config::non_bincompat_options().
Change WinCE to invoke makedef.pl with -MCross, which it should have been using
all along, as the values it wants are from the host config, not the target
config. [Not tested on WinCE]. Previously makedef.pl would have been loading
the target config, but as it was only using $Config{path_sep}, this would not
have mattered.

Add a utility to help test makedef.pl
The output of makedef.pl varies too much based on local configuration to allow
us to generate any useful pre-canned expectations of correctness. Hence the only
real option left is to generate "Golden" results for the local platform prior to
any modification, and then compare post modification output with them, to see
that nothing (unexpected) changed. exercise_makedef.pl captures all output for
(currently) 576 permutations of command line parameters, to enable this testing.
