Summary: allow use of 'inline' in Tcl sources

Initial Comment:
Miguel Sofer, as part of the 'Var reform' patch, 
has asked for the ability to use 'inline' functions
in tclVar.c

This turns out to be easy. AC_C_INLINE in the
'configure.in' files should, if the compiler doesn't
support 'inline', define a macro of that name that
expands to '__inline__', '__inline', or nothing,
as appropriate. ('Nothing' will have the effect of
making the 'static inline' function fall back on being
an ordinary static function.)

I don't see any compelling reason not to let him have
his inline, do you?
