Do not probe for the malloc/free return type

Backport of commit d8a109ccd80350f5b83d0928d87032df3ec1b8dd

We require a C99 compiler, or in the case that led to this commit, a
C++ compiler, and for those the malloc() and free() return types are
well defined.

This probe broke on Solaris when building with g++.

Unlike glibc, the libc headers on Solaris, when building using a C++
compiler, define the stdlib.h functions within the std:: namespace,
then imports those names into the top level namespace with 'using
std::malloc'.

This conflicts with the declarations used in the probe, causing the
probe to fail to build, despite malloc() actually returning a void *.

Since these two functions have well defined return types according to
the standard, assume their return values match.

Configure can still be invoked with different definitions for
malloctype and freetype, or hints can override them, so someone on a
non-standard system can at least get past this if they really need to
(such a system will likely not build perl anyway.)

Figure out I32df, U32uf, etc. in Configure rather than in perl.h

These macros were defined in perl.h using preprocessor conditionals,
but determining wheter I32 is "int" or "long" is pretty hard with
preprocessor, when INTSIZE == LONGSIZE.  The Configure script
should know exact underlying type of I32, so it should be able to
determine whether %d or %ld shall be used to format I32 value
more robustly.

Various pre-configured files, such as uconfig.h, are updated to
align with this.

Configure's helper function ./myread is intended to loop until it gets an

detect struct stat.st_dev's size and signedness, and return it safely

On FreeBSD dev_t (and hence the st_dev member of struct stat) is an
unsigned 64-bit integer, and the previous simple PUSHi() corrupted
that.

A previous version of this reflected the st_ino code and implemented
our own number to string conversion, but a system with such a large
st_dev should be assumed to have inttypes.h, and an intmax_t which is
no smaller than st_dev.

numbers are not a new thing, so it may be riskier.

the end of a function with a non-void return type.

amd64 producing an illegal instruction exception.  With optimization
the test case fell off the end and started re-executing main (),
eventually producing a SIGBUS.

Simply dropping the value of getenv () here and returning NULL wasn't
useful, under -O2 the compiler optimized away the getenv () call,
