Remove "." from default @INC when default_inc_excludes_dot is set
Perl now provides a way to build perl without . in @INC by default. If you want this feature, you can build with -Ddefault_inc_excludes_dot Because the testing / make process for perl modules do not function well with . missing from @INC, Perl now supports the environment variable PERL_USE_UNSAFE_INC=1 which makes Perl behave as it previously did, returning . to @INC in all child processes. WARNING: PERL_USE_UNSAFE_INC has been provided during the perl 5.25 development cycle and is not guaranteed to function in perl 5.26. Update unit tests and default value files to work with the new %Config variable "default_inc_excludes_dot"
