Only use setenv() on Solaris if it is available.

This is a followup to 07ad9e0e19891ec129e1a78e40a66ca19b51302d.
util.c:Perl_my_setenv() unconditionally used setenv() if #defined(__sun).
Solaris 8 had neither setenv() nor unsetenv(), so it failed.  Configure
does not currently check for setenv(), but the check for unsetenv()
is sufficient here since Solaris 9 and later have both.

Configure: Discard errors when testing for less -R

When we try replacing 'less' with 'less -R', it's possible
that less will output errors if the option is not supported;
this happens, for example, in busybox's less.

Configure: Handle hyphens when searching cpp symbols

This is really just for Android, which in Configure is
known as linux-android; the hyphen is passes as-is to
the preprocessor, which handles it as a minus.

So don't do that.
