Remove PL_maxo
We have an interpreter variable using memory, PL_maxo, which is
defined to be the same as MAXO, a #defined constant. As far as I can
tell, it is never used in lvalue context, in core or on CPAN, except
for the initialisation in intrpvar.h.
It can simply be removed and replaced with a macro defined as equiva-
lent to MAXO.
It was added in this commit:

perl 5.002beta1h patch: perl.h
5.002beta1 attempted some memory optimizations, but unfortunately
they can result in a memory leak problem. This can be
avoided by #define STRANGE_MALLOC. I do that here until
consensus is reached on a better strategy for handling the
memory optimizations.
Include maxo for the maximum number of operations (needed
for the Safe extension).
But apparently it is not needed for the Safe extension (tests pass
without it).
