In cflags.SH trim the case statement of file basenames.
Add examples showing how to use cflags.SH to tweak the compiler flags used
for individual object files.
Previously cflags.SH contained a somewhat stale pre-canned list of file
basenames including removed files such as usersub (deleted before 5.000
shipped), and a partial list of 5.000 XS extensions. Whilst it's possible
to generate the correct list in cflags by parsing MANIFEST (and adding a few
fixups), it's still not actually *useful*, as cflags gets overwritten as
soon as config.sh changes. Hence the most end-user useful solution with
minimal maintenance is to eliminate the list entirely, and document how the
user should add to it as necessary.
