Improved in-tree shared libraries build system

The following new/revived shared modules are available now:

... MySQL (*)
... PCRE (*)
... Session
... SWF

(*) capable of using bundled library or external library

All changes:

The m4 macro PHP_EXTENSION was revamped. Uses LIB_BUILD now.
This effectively means that all extensions have to use dynlib.

ext/mysql/config.m4 was revamped.
Uses LIB_BUILD for building bundled library.

ext/pcre/config.m4 was revamped.
Uses LIB_BUILD for building bundled library.

ext/ext_skel was changed to reflect that more modules should be
compileable as shared module.

ext/Makefile.in has been simplified enormously.

Dependencies are now stored in the build tree.

Empty dependencies are not generated by buildconf anymore. They
are now dynamically created during the build process.

Implicit rules for .S were removed.

The NO_RECURSION feature was removed.

"libs.mk" has been added to all cvsignore files in ext.

Welcome PHP_ARG_ENABLE and PHP_ARG_WITH. They are there to replace the common
AC_MSG_CHECKING, AC_ARG_[ENABLE,WITH], AC_MSG_RESULT trio.

Revamp session's config.m4 and reenable support for mm. The shared memory
module works now successfully again under Apache and other web servers.

Integration of -ng changes. Changes:

- added support for externally built modules,

Integration of -ng changes. Changes:

- added support for externally built modules,
- improved support for in-tree shared modules,
- fixed diversion bugs,
- configure displays some informative messages,
- faster static build
(libtool isn't used anymore for compiling non-PIC objects),
- dependencies comparable to automake's without requiring GNU make or GCC,
- working make clean for non-GNU makes.

(normal case is not affected, since session_adapt_uris defaults to
void statement. Compiler should eliminate dead code in output.c then.)

This work

- fix potential buffer problem in send_cookie
- fix gc probability algorithm
- don't access mod_data directly
- initial version of mm support for session data storage

This works pretty good, but we need to create the initial mm pool
from the parent process/thread. Still looking for a clean way to do that.
