ExtUtils::ParseXS: min perl 5.6.1 => 5.8.3
Increase the minimum required perl release for ExtUtils::ParseXS from
perl-5.6.1 to perl-5.8.3.
The next commit will add 'use fields', which requires at least 5.8.0.
But also, since 2013 the ExtUtils::ParseXS module has had this line:
use Exporter 'import';
which is only supported in 5.8.3 onwards. Nobody has complained about
this in the last 11 years, so it doesn't look like we need to support an
older perl than that.

ExtUtils::ParseXS: use fields.pm and doc fields
Add 'use fields' to make the fields of a ExtUtils::ParseXS object be
fixed and enforced.
Background:
ExtUtils::ParseXS is the guts of what used to be a standalone script,
xsubpp, which used to use many package variables.
When this code was split out into ExtUtils::ParseXS, some of those
package variables became lexical variables, while others became
members of the ExtUtils::ParseXS object (i.e. keys within the object
hash).
Due to Perl's liassez-faire attitude towards what can go inside an object
hash, and the general lack of organisation within this sprawling mess
of code, the object eventually accumulated 77 field members, many
undocumented, and certainly with no central point of documentation.
This commit adds 'use fields' and 'my ExtUtils::ParseXS $self' to this
module and its children. These together make use of an underappreciated
perl feature which allows you to create hashes with a fixed set of keys
(via 'use fields') and where the use of incorrect keys can often be
detected at compile-time (via 'my Type $self; $self->{bad_literal_key}').
Adding 'use fields' then allowed me to chase down all the keys used
by the object hash. I then documented them all.
This allowed me to detect a bug (to be fixed shortly): XsubAlias is a
typo intending to be XsubAliases; and to spot things like the fact that
there are three fields called:
interface
interfaces
Interfaces
Which could probably be better named.
The next few commits will do a bunch of renaming and rationalisation of
these object fields.
Note that due to a build-time circularity, this commit actually does a
conditional 'require fields; fields->import(...)' rather than 'use
fields', as fields depends on Hash::Util which is an XS module, which
depends on us. So while perl is being freshly built, the object fields
are not initially enforced, but are later on.
In terms of user-visible changes, if code which uses this module
naughtily tries to add extra keys to the object hash, they'll now get an
error, and they'll have to properly subclass the object instead.

ExtUtils::ParseXS: extend alias test
This test checks that the correct warnings are issued when an XSUB tries
to define multiple aliases with the same value. This commit extends the
test slightly to have multiple aliases (including an alias matching the
function name) all mapped to in index 0.
The main point of generating these extra warnings is that the warnings
accidentally list the XSUB function's name ('do') multiple times in the
warning message. The next commit will fix that.

ExtUtils::ParseXS: remove XsubAlias field
This was a typo: the code should have been checking if the
XsubAlias*es* field was defined, in order to remove a duplicate copy of
the XSUB function name from an alias warning message.

ExtUtils::ParseXS: delete newXS/file/proto fields
Remove these three fields:
$self->{newXS}
$self->{file}
$self->{proto}
from the ParseXS object. They don't really store any proper parsing
state; they're just three temporary values better served by three
restricted-scope lexical vars.
The next commit will re-indent the new scope this commit adds.

ExtUtils::ParseXS: partially eliminate cond field
This object field was being used for two purposes: once to maintain
state about CASE conditions, and once as a short-lived temporary value.
Use a lexical var instead for the latter use. The new scope will be
re-indented in the next commit.

ExtUtils::ParseXS: rename most object fields
This big commit renames around 60 of the 75-or-so fields within an
ExtUtils::ParseXS hash object.
This is because many of the current names are confusing and follow no
particular pattern.
I've used the following rules of thumb:
- Generally make the names longer. For example there are three fields
which indicate whether the RETVAL value has been seen within a
particular XSUB section, and it's not at all obvious that (for example)
gotRETVAL specifically indicates having seen that var in the *OUTPUT*
section.
- Prefix most things with a category, e.g. xsub_ for per-XSUB values,
config_ for config values etc. I've generally left miscellaneous
global state un-prefixed.
- Hashes (and the occasional array) are generally named as map_X_to_Y
where X and Y describe the keys and values.
- Booleans indicating that something in particular has been detected in
the XS source file are prefixed with seen_.
- Fields directly related to an XS keyword use that keyword in
upper-case, e.g. xsub_seen_ALIAS.
A few fields were left as-is because it would be too much effort to
rename them, e.g. line and line_no should really have become in_lines
and in_line_nums. A couple of fields were left as-is because they are
going to be removed soon.
This commit includes some minor changes to code comments and a bunch of
white-space changes, e.g. wrapping code lines which have become too long.
But there are no other functional changes.
It could in theory break code which access the object's fields directly.
