Instead of running a bunch of separate rc_include statements in the
background, which causes unpredictable ordering of log output and
prevents -j from controlling parallelism, let's do a single
redo-ifchange for all of them (the slow part) followed by sequentially
checking the results (the fast part).
CC.rc was the only "mandatory" detection, which was weird and
inconsistent. Instead, make it optional like the others, and have it
set a HAVE_CC variable appropriately (and have CXX.rc work the same
way). Then, add a default.required.rc.od that checks the HAVE_* for
any variable and aborts if it is not available.
This allows us to fix confusing behaviour in allconfig.do, which would
try every compiler on the system, but redo would print a (non-fatal)
error message (and prevent redo-stamp optimization) when CC.rc failed
for any non-working compilers. Now CC.rc just politely reports that it
didn't find a compiler. Then we change all.rc.od to make CC.rc
mandatory.

To test it out, try this:
./do -j10 build
cd docs/cookbook/c
redo -j10 test
It should detect all the compilers on your system and make three
separate builds for each one: normal, debug, and optimized. Then it
tries to run a test program under each one.
If there are windows cross compilers and you also have 'wine'
installed, it'll try running the test program under wine as well.
redoconf currently has no documentation other than the example program.
We'll fix that later.
