Configurations/*.tmpl: overhaul assembler make rules.

NOTE: Not Configurations/unix-Makefile.tmpl, as that was done 4 years
ago, in commit a23f03166e0ec49ac09b3671e7ab4ba4fa57d42a.

So far assembly modules were intended to be built as .pl->.S->.{asmext}
followed by .{asmext}->.o. This posed a problem in build_all_generated
rule if it was executed on another computer, and also turned out to be
buggy, as .S was also translated to .{asmext} on Windows and VMS.
Both issues are fixed by changing the rule sequence to .pl->.S and then
.S->.s->.o, with the added benefit that the Windows and VMS build file
templates are more in sync with unix-Makefile.tmpl and slightly simpler.

Fixes #19594

Build files: Make it possible to source libraries into other libraries

Added functionality to use static libraries as source for other
libraries. When done this way, the target library will use the object
files from the sourced static libraries, making the sourced libraries
work as "containers" for object files.

We also need to make sure that the Unix Makefile template knows how to
deal with shared libraries and modules that depend on static libraries.
That's new situation we haven't had before.

Rework building: initial changes

This is the start of a major work to correct some quirks in the
buiding system. The base for this is to move certain attributes that
lack desired flexibility from Configurations/*.conf to perl modules
that can be selected with one single attribute in the config targets.

The way this is meant to work is by adding this attribute in select
config targets:

perl_module => 'Name'; # Name to be replaced

Then, in the perl scripts or modules that need the functionality,
these lines should be added:

use lib catdir($srcdir, 'Configurations'); # Ensure access to platform.pm
use lib $blddir; # Ensure access to configdata.pm
use platform; # Will load platform::$target{perl_module}
