Attachment: Upgrade MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH to NSPR 4.6.1 Beta

For easier review by the drivers, I omitted changes to files
that aren't used by Mozilla clients.  Only two of these (7 and
8) are bug fixes.  Everything else is build system/porting
related.

All the changes have been reviewed by me or Darin Fisher, or
the experts in the areas (cls or Mac developers).  

1. Changed NSPR version from "4.6" to "4.6.1 Beta".

2. Bug 298543: eliminated MACOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET. Replaced
the environment variable by MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET and
the macro by MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED.

3. Bug 290725: implemented USE_64 for Linux x86_64.  Allows
one to do 32-bit x86 builds on a 64-bit x86_64 system.

4. Bug 298674: RISC OS port.

5. Bug 303169: worked around a link error with gcc on
Solaris SPARC in debug builds.

6. Bug 266123: Linux ppc64 (PowerPC 64-bit) port.

7. Bug 294017: make PR_NETADDR_SIZE return the correct
value on Windows because Windows' struct in6_addr has
different alignment from PRIPv6Addr. This bug only
affected an assertion, which is only used in debug builds.

8. Bug 298612: ensure that the return value of StringGetChar,
which is passed to isspace, etc., is EOF or between 0 and
255.

Attachment: Clean up NSPR's "configure --help" message

1. Put the default value for --enable-macos-target in
brackets after the description, which is the convention
of our configure script.

2. Wrap long lines (--with-bthreads and --with-native-threads).

I checked in the patches on the MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH.  Thanks.

The "configure --help" message patch was also checked in on
the NSPRPUB_PRE_4_2_CLIENT_BRANCH and NSPR trunk.
