Get rid of unnecessary "rmdir /s" calls in Win32 makefiles
They only existed for the benefit of old shells that didn't
understand "rmdir /s /q", but since change #27195 effectively
drops support for old shells that don't understand "xcopy /y"
it seems unnecessary now.
Windows NT4, 2000, XP and onwards all support "rmdir /s /q", so
it's probably only the Windows 9x shells that lose out.

Sort the ext/ and lib/ tests when running under t/harness
Unless they are sorted then they are run in the same order in which
they are listed in MANIFEST, which is not always ideal. In particular,
the ext/Compress/IO/Zlib/t/*.t tests are not run in the correct order,
which causes some files to be left behind afterwards.
ExtUtils::Command::MM::test_harness() sorts test files, so it seems
sensible for t/harness to do likewise, rather than relying on the
ordering in MANIFEST.
