Incomplete, needs instructions on updating and tagging submodules,
maybe other things too.
This uses version number 7.1.1 instead of 7.0.1, which was deliberate.
This is essential for submodules, which now need that value to load
the right modules/RELEASE.<host>.local file which gives them their
path to EPICS_BASE (they can't set it for themselves without knowing
that path because the startup directory is part of core!).
Fixes last night's breakage.
Installation is needed so bldEnvData.pl can find libcomModuleDirs.pm
and hence the EPICS::Path and EPICS::Release modules while doing
cross-builds. We'll need it to be installed eventually anyway so
support modules can add their own environment parameters.
Rename modules/RELEASE.local to RELEASE.<host>.local
Modify all submodule configure/RELEASE files to include that, and
update the template configure/RELEASE file to match.
Install Perl *ModuleDirs.pm files into bin/<host> since they contain
absolute paths which may be different on different host arch's.
Scripts that need a ModuleDirs module have been adjusted to look in
their bin/<host> directory for it.
Some additional submodule updates were also incorporated.
Adjust capr.pl to use it from there.
Host arch's may use different absolute paths to the same Base directory,
so they can't share a single copy of that module.
Adjust all scripts to use it from there.

Many of our host machines are running perl 5.8.8 and throw an error for the possesive quantifiers in this regex.
Support for the ++ and *+ possesive quantifiers wasn't added till perl 5.10 and the epics docs still say perl 5.8.1 is the requirement.
They don't appear to be needed in this regex and removing them generated the same errSymTbl.c in my tests.
TESTLIBRARY products were being installed, because an executable
that was linked to one added a dependency assuming it would be in
the INSTALL_LIB directory. The $(lib)_DIR was being set too late
for test libraries, so the fallback location was used instead.
This fix sets $(lib)_DIR for test libraries before any rules use it.
