Support -m compilation to shared/static modules

[rurban]

See TODO and the branches modul*

modularize (-m) for faster link times, buildcc, rperl integration

Use the perlcc -m option to do this for any script / module. 1) -m "modularize" if .pl, check deps also, and update -m modules if necessary. (Like the MSVC compiler) but maybe do this only with buildcc: scan the modules via a new B::C option, and create the makefile. 2) -m "module" if .pm

---

• ✓ add -m [Module::Name]? logic to perlcc, use -m when single .pm Input is given. output to a new archlib/pcc/ directory (done)
• add new build tool which takes module names and paths from the compiler, check timestamps and create/update compiled modules. (in work: buildcc)
• ✓ filter out non-module related code in the compiler by looking at the CopFILE. (same as the $mainfile checks) (done)
• ✓ seperate local from global destruction (done)
• support local destruction of the shared module (like a dll destroy hook, but using a list during global destruction) boot_module() + new destroy_module()

Sorry, not yet. We have to fix performance and esp. memory issues first for 5.22.

Okay, Thanks Reini :)

Done with the memory problems. Started working on it again :)
