Under macOS, to reduce dependency chains, we remove functions
and data that are unreachable by the entry point or exported
symbols. In particular, the macOS linker is used with both
"-dead_strip" and "-dead_strip_dylibs".
The libcalc shared library is now linked with libcustcalc.

While calc on macOS will execute if linker used with "-dead_strip_dylibs"
and CUSTOM is defined, other applications that use libcalc but not
libcustcalc (such as sample_many and sample_rand) will fail to execute
due to missile symbols. Therefore "-dead_strip_dylibs" is not used
by default when ALLOW_CUSTOM is "-DCUSTOM" under macOS.

Removed the ${CAL_PASSDOWN}, ${HELP_PASSDOWN}, ${HELP_PASSDOWN},
${CSCRIPT_PASSDOWN} Makefile variables as the new Makefile
include files keep Makefile variables in sync.
Fixed the ability of calc to compile when CUSTOM is undefined
(i.e., -UCUSTOM). The libcustcalc is always built, regardless
of the $(ALLOW_CUSTOM} Makefile variable. However when CUSTOM
is undefined, the bulk of custom functions are not defined.
Updated comments in Makefile.local for how to Diagnosing memory,
thread, and crash issues under RHEL and macOS.
We no longer support the Makefile variable ${ALLOW_CUSTOM} to be empty.
Normally ${ALLOW_CUSTOM} is:
ALLOW_CUSTOM= -DCUSTOM
Now, to disable custom disable custom even if -C is given, use:
ALLOW_CUSTOM="-UCUSTOM"
Added comments in Makefile.local for how to reduce dependency chains
under macOS. XXX - this doesn't yet work so don't uncomment - XXX.
Some folks might think: “you still use RCS”?!? And we will say,
hey, at least we switched from SCCS to RCS back in … I think it was
around 1994 ... at least we are keeping up! :-) :-) :-)
Logs say that SCCS version 18 became RCS version 19 on 1994 March 18.
RCS served us well. But now it is time to move on. And so we are
switching to git.
Calc releases produce a lot of file changes. In the 125 releases
of calc since 1996, when I started managing calc releases, there
have been 15473 file mods!
