Remove sharedperl option on VMS
This was intended to allow Perl for multiple architectures to reside
in a single installation directory tree, primarily for mixed-architecture
clusters. Disk space is a lot cheaper than it was when this first came
along, and architecture-specific library directories have since become
a thing, so there might be a better way to do this now if it's even still
desireable. It's unclear whether the feature has been used in recent
decades -- it certainly hasn't been tested recently.
Removing it simplifies the build and is something that doesn't have to
get fixed whenever a port to a new architecture comes along.

Log Message:
-----------
Remove vestigial reference to /VAXC qualifier
This refers to building using DEC C but with a VAX C compatibility
mode. Building Perl like that has not been supported for a long
time and it's not worth revisiting as that basically puts the
compiler into a K & R, pre-ANSI mode.

Log Message:
-----------
Remove ancient and broken GCC for VMS support
There has not been a viable GCC for VMS in a couple of decades and
the hacks and workarounds that were necessary then are unlikely to
be helpful for any future work. Reportedly significant portions of
the GCC toolchain were available in GNAT Ada, but there was never
an independent release of the C compiler and that support has now
been removed as well.
Cleaning this up should make it easier to add alternate compiler
support in the future, such as for the clang port in progress at
VSI.
