Add debug tracing for CURL_CHECK_DEF

Skip data type check in DO_CURL_OFF_T_CHECK macro when argument is empty.

Fix CURL_CHECK_DEF so that when the expansion of the preprocessor symbol results
in a set of double-quoted strings, this macro will now return an expansion which
consists of a single double-q

Fix CURL_CHECK_DEF so that when the expansion of the preprocessor symbol results
in a set of double-quoted strings, this macro will now return an expansion which
consists of a single double-quoted string result of concatenating all of them.

Initial support of curlbuild.h and curlrules.h which allows
to have a curl_off_t data type no longer gated to off_t.

Autoconf 2.62 has changed the behaviour of the AC_AIX macro which we use.

Autoconf 2.62 has changed the behaviour of the AC_AIX macro which we use.
Prior versions of autoconf defined _ALL_SOURCE if _AIX was defined. But,
autoconf 2.62 version of AC_AIX defines _ALL_SOURCE along with other four
preprocessor symbols no matter if the system is AIX or not. To keep the
traditional behaviour, as well as an uniform one, across autoconf versions
AC_AIX is replaced with our own internal macro.

We actually don't need all the bells and whistles that the above mechanism
provides. We only need to include our m4/reentrant.m4 file in acinclude.m4
so here we go with this simpler mechanism.

Another step towards detecting if _REENTRANT is already defined or actually
needed, and being able to define it if appropriate for further configure tests
as well as for the generated config

Added "pointer to void" as another data type to check for the sixth argument of
function recvfrom as a result of the info additionally logged when running on a
Solaris system.

The compiler error showed that the prototype being used on Solaris was the one
declared in line 427 of "/usr/include/sys/socket.h" as:

function(int,
pointer to void,
unsigned int,

pointer to struct sockaddr,

RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG2, RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG5 and RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG6 are now defined
to the data type pointed by its respective argument and not the pointer type.
