[patch@34896] vms readdir() fixes for UNIX/EFS mode

Readdir() on VMS, when opening a directory with a UNIX file 
specification, should return all the files in UNIX format.

This includes dropping the ".DIR" from the directory specifications.

Because traditionally Perl has not done this, this fix will only be done 
when the DECC$EFS_CHARSET feature is enabled.


Next on the fix list for Unix compatibility mode, <*> is always 
returning specifications in VMS format instead of UNIX format when 
DECC$FILENAME_UNIX_REPORT is active.

Regards,
-John
