Remove the version check for WINDRES, because, as per bug 454112, it
didn't actually work, and, making it work actually causes problems
because llvm's windres, used with mingw clang, has version 0.1.

There's only really one place where it's used, and we can "inline" it
there.

It is only used in one place, where it is redundant with VPX_AS_CONVERSION.

It is used nowhere. Also remove the warning when there no assembly for
VPX. Barely anybody notices it, and there's nothing really noteworthy
about it.

Because we now set the sysroot include flags early in python configure,
we don't need to set CPP/CXXCPP. We also skip the explicit compiler test
because more complete tests follow anyways.

We're always setting -dead_strip on mac builds, per
cross-mozconfig.common, we might as well not do that and revert bug
638149, which disabled adding -dead_strip with LTO: that is apparently
not a problem anymore.

vpx_mem_set_functions support is only enabled when
MOZ_VPX_NO_MEM_REPORTING is not set. It is currently set unconditionally
when building with the in-tree libvpx. When building with system libvpx,
it is set when the vpx_mem_set_functions can't be found in the system
libvpx library.
Upstream removed the vpx_mem_set_functions function in version 1.5, and
we require at least that version, meaning, in practice,
MOZ_VPX_NO_MEM_REPORTING is now always set.
We might as well remove the define and the code that's conditional to
not being defined.

It's enabled by default as of clang 7 with -Oz on aarch64 (that is,
afaict, the only platform where it's enabled), and regresses our
performance on speedometer.

The desired outcome of this change is that we'll set
-Wl,--version-script based on linker kind and not on the output of
$LINKER -v.
This is a cheap way to address a simple problem that has a complicated
ideal solution. The underlying issue is that in some situations, when
targeting Android, a macOS system ld is interrogated to determine if
a cross-compiling linker "is GNU ld" and a particular linker feature
is set in that situation. The macOS system ld doesn't pass the "is
GNU ld" test, and the linker feature isn't set; that causes link
failures, even though the actual linker has nothing to do with the
system ld.
The ideal solution is to test for linker capabilities dynamically. We
do a lot of that in old-configure.in, and we don't do any of that in
toolchain.configure. Rather than start testing in
toolchain.configure, we hard-code: a cheap solution to the immediate
problem.
MinGW suffers somewhat from the opposite problem: the linker "is GNU
ld" (compatible), but the linker checks don't happen at all. We hard-code
for MinGW based on the C compiler instead.

The GNU_AS check in old-configure depended on running with the value
of $AS before it gets reset to just be the C compiler, which breaks when
we move setting AS into moz.configure.
This patch moves the GNU_AS check to toolchain.configure and changes it
so that it works when the assembler is the C compiler. We do have to
fix things slightly for clang, because the previous check was
succeeding, but not because of clang: it was detecting the presence of
"GNU" in the output for GNU ld/gold and a message about the GNU GPL.
This is a straightforward port of MIDL_FLAGS from old-configure to
moz.configure. The only behavioral change is that it removes support for
prepending MIDL_FLAGS from the environment in configure, but I doubt anyone
uses that.
This is a fairly straightforward port of the AS tool checks from old-configure
to toolchain.configure. AS is a little quirky in that we currently do a
normal-looking check for it, but then override that value to be the C compiler
for non-Windows builds, and ml[64]/armasm64 for Windows builds.
After migrating those checks, the only things left in the MOZ_DEFAULT_COMPILER
macro in compiler-opts.m4 were some unused bits, so I removed them:
* Setting of CPP/CXXCPP, which are set in toolchain.configure now
* Setting HOST_LDFLAGS to empty, which doesn't seem particularly useful.
There was also a quirky old test that the assembler was ml[64] when js-ctypes
is enabled that I removed, I don't think it provides any value since this
patch will ensure that we're using the right assembler for Windows builds.
