Revert "Improvements in DH_OPTIONS handling and DH_AUTO_OPTIONS envvar support."
This mostly reverts commit f897611a77726655aea258af0c4d52a8ce759ebc.
Remaining cosmetic changes (all functional changes have been reverted):
* Refactoring of option string into split_options_string() sub (no semantic
changes though).
* Cosmetic change in Dh_Buildsystems.pm.
Breaks testsuite.
