Make the ./configure script simpler, more robust, and 23 lines shorter:

* three rather than four arguments for singletest()
* let runtest() support testing two variants of compiler flags
* always report a failed test, even when another test follows
* run all tests before detecting fatal conditions
* rename HAVE_CMSG_XPG42 to NEED_XPG4_2 for consistency
* consistently use braces for shell variable interpolation
* drop archaic "X${" syntax and unusual "==" in string comparisons
