Perl 3.0 PL12 -- patches for Xenix/386 2.3

Compiling Perl 3.0 PL12 on Xenix/386, I fixed four small bugs:

1.  The Xenix C compiler automatically defines "M_XENIX", not "xenix".
    In perl.h, the wrong macro was being tested; as well, the presence
    of <sys/dir.h> was preventing the correct use of <sys/ndir.h>.
    Patch is below.

2.  In stab.h, an ifdef checks for specific variations of readdir() headers.
    It should simply check for READDIR.  Patch is below.

3.  The Configure script runs cc with the -D options after the source file
    when trying to determine the correct time headers to use.  Xenix cc
    requires that the options go before the source file.  Patch is below.

4.  Configure tries to compile a varargs program, but it doesn't include
    <stdio.h> before <varargs.h>, so it fails under Xenix.  Patch is below.

Incidentally, Larry, the regression testing doesn't check readdir().
Perhaps we need an io.readdir module in there.
