[PATCH v2] new: Detect dirent.d_type support at configure time

[Austin Clements]

Support for dirent.d_type is OS-specific.  Previously, we used
_DIRENT_HAVE_D_TYPE to detect support for this, but this is apparently
a glic-ism (FreeBSD, for example, supports d_type, but does not define
this).  Since there's no cross-platform way to detect support for
dirent.d_type, detect it using a test compile at configure time.

This is a trivial rebase of
id:1385262952-29240-1-git-send-email-amdragon at mit.edu, which I
apparently never got around to sending.  Tomi and Jani checked off v1
of this patch, so I'm marking it ready.
