With the support of "make variables" comes the possibility for the
user to override them. However, we need to make a difference between
defaults that we use (and that should be overridable by the user) and
flags that are crucial for building OpenSSL (should not be
overridable).
Typically, overridable flags are those setting optimization levels,
warnings levels, that kind of thing, while non-overridable flags are,
for example, macros that indicate aspects of how the config target
should be treated, such as L_ENDIAN and B_ENDIAN.
We do that differentiation by allowing upper case attributes in the
config targets, named exactly like the "make variables" we support,
and reserving the lower case attributes for non-overridable project
flags.

Make it possible to have a separate and different perl command string
for installable scripts than we use when building, with the
environment variable HASHBANGPERL. Its value default to the same as
the environment PERL if it's defined, otherwise '/usr/bin/env perl'.
Note: this is only relevant for Unix-like environments.

Now that we're using templates, we should warn people not to edit the
resulting file. We do it through util/dofile.pl, which is enhanced
with an option to tell what file it was called from. We also change
the calls so the template files are on the command line instead of
being redirected through standard input. That way, we can display
something like this (example taken from include/openssl/opensslconf.h):
/* WARNING: do not edit! */
/* Generated by Configure from include/openssl/opensslconf.h.in */

apps/CA.pl and tools/c_rehash are built from template files. So far,
this was done by Configure, which created its own problems as it
forced everyone to reconfigure just because one of the template files
had changed.
Instead, have those files created as part of the normal build in apps/
and in tools/.
Furthermore, this prepares for a future where Configure may produce
entirely other build files than Makefile, and the latter can't be
guaranteed to be the holder of all information for other scripts.
Instead, configdata.pm (described below) becomes the center of
configuration information.
This introduces a few new things:
%config a hash table to hold all kinds of configuration data
that can be used by any other script.
configdata.pm a perl module that Configure writes. It currently
holds the hash tables %config and %target.
util/dofile.pl a script that takes a template on STDIN and outputs
the result after applying configuration data on it.
It's supposed to be called like this:
perl -I$(TOP) -Mconfigdata < template > result
or
perl -I$(TOP) -Mconfigdata templ1 templ2 ... > result
Note: util/dofile.pl requires Text::Template.
As part of this changed, remove a number of variables that are really
just copies of entries in %target, and use %target directly. The
exceptions are $target{cflags} and $target{lflags}, they do get copied
to $cflags and $lflags. The reason for this is that those variable
potentially go through a lot of changes and would rather deserve a
place in %config. That, however, is for another commit.
