Currently, adding gems to build configuration and rebuilding does not
regenerate `presym`, which can lead to build errors.
Therefore in this case we need to remove the `presym` file and then rebuild
mruby, but when the` presym` file is regenerated we will need to recompile
most of the files, so it seems useful to have the `presym` file deleted by
`rake clean`.
Due to the above changes, it may not work with the existing build
configurations in cross-compilation (even if we can build without presym),
therefore revert it once (ref https://github.com/mruby/mruby/pull/5202#issuecomment-735412643). Sorry for the lack of consideration.
Previously, presym files were always created in `build/{presym,presym.inc}`.
However, this constraint is inconvenient because it is common to use
multiple build configurations and build targets in a single mruby tree.
Therefore, change to create presym file for each build target.
Chang to compare string length first.

To be also able to build mruby without presym in the future. However,
`MRB_QSYM` has been removed and changed as follows:
### Example
| Type | Symbol | Previous Style | New Style |
|---------------------------|--------|------------------|----------------|
| Operator | & | MRB_QSYM(and) | MRB_OPSYM(and) |
| Class Variable | @@foo | MRB_QSYM(00_foo) | MRB_CVSYM(foo) |
| Instance Variable | @foo | MRB_QSYM(0_foo) | MRB_IVSYM(foo) |
| Method with Bang | foo! | MRB_QSYM(foo_b) | MRB_SYM_B(foo) |
| Method with Question mark | foo? | MRB_QSYM(foo_p) | MRB_SYM_Q(foo) |
| Mmethod with Equal | foo= | MRB_QSYM(foo_e) | MRB_SYM_E(foo) |
This change makes it possible to define, for example, `MRB_IVSYM(foo)` as
`mrb_intern_lit(mrb, "@" "foo")`, which is useful if we support building
without presym in the future.
When `rake -m` and so on are used to build in parallel, building may be
started before presym files are generated. Then, for example, the following
error occurs and this issue is fixed.
```console
In file included from /Users/shuujii/mruby/mruby/include/mruby.h:92:
/mruby/mruby/include/mruby/presym.h:16:10: fatal error: '../build/presym.inc' file not found
#include <../build/presym.inc>
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
```
* In explanation of mruby, the expression `build_config.rb` is frequently
used including official documents, so I think that it will not make sense
if the file is no longer used.
* The `MRUBY_TARGET` mechanism seems to have little improvement, so I don't
think it should be changed to avoid unnecessary confusion.
* `MRUBY_TARGET` and `MRuby.targets` represent somewhat different things,
so using the same term "target" is a bit confusing.
The mechanism that can be written short when using a file under
`build_config` (renamed from `target`) directory remains
(`build_config/${MRUBY_CONFIG}.rb` is used if the path specified
in `MRUBY_CONFIG` doesn't exist).
Files under `test/t` and `mrbgem/*/test` are for tests, not for actual
execution. So symbols in those files need not to be pre-allocated. This
change slightly reduce the memory consumption.
Where `QSYM` means quoted symbols, which cannot be represented C
symbols, so specify aliases instead.
- operators: name of the operation, e.g. add for `+`
- predicates: add `_p` suffix instead of `?`
- bang methods: add `_b` suffix instead of `!`
- instance variables: add `a_` prefix instead of `@`
- global variables: add `d_` prefix instead of `@`
- class variables: unsupported; don't use them
You have to specify `TARGET` to specify a configuration, e.g.
```
rake TARGET=host-debug all test
```
When you port `mruby` to a new configuration:
1. copy an existing configuration under `target` directory
2. modify the new configuration file
3. build using the new configuration
4. send PR if you please
