"Bake" the values of PERL_REVISION, PERL_VERSION and PERL_SUBVERSION
into global variables (and hence a shared perl library). Additionally under MULTIPLICITY record the size of the interpreter structure (total, and for this version) and under PERL_GLOBAL_STRUCT the size of the global variables structure. Coupled with PL_bincompat_options this will allow 5.10.1 (and later), when compiled with a shared perl library, to perform sanity checks in main() to verify that the shared library is indeed binary compatible. p4raw-id: //depot/perl@32238
