Implement a few changes to how shared libraries and dynamically loadable
modules are built.  Foremost, it creates a solid distinction between these two
types of targets based on what had already been implemented and duplicated in
ad hoc ways before.  Specifically,

- Dynamically loadable modules no longer get a soname.  The numbers previously
set in the makefiles were dummy numbers anyway, and the presence of a soname
upset a few packaging tools, so it is nicer not to have one.

- The cumbersome detour taken on installation (build a libfoo.so.0.0.0 and
then override the rule to install foo.so instead) is removed.

- Lots of duplicated code simplified.
