-DMODPERL, -DMOD_PERL, -DMOD_PERL2, -DMODPERL2 conundrum

In 1.0 mod_perl extensions were passed -DMOD_PERL by Apache::src, so shouldn't 
we pass -DMOD_PERL2 from ModPerl::MM and not -DMOD_PERL?

At the same time we use <IfDefine MODPERL2> and not MOD_PERL2, so it gets all 
confusing. Can we decide on consistently using the underscore or none in both 
cases? I know that it's boring when the life is too easy... but

My proposal:

In order to stay consistent with 1.0 stuff, we go with the underscore, though 
add '2', so we use -DMOD_PERL2 from ModPerl::MM, for extensions to use.

Since <IfDefine MODPERL2> is new, we change it to <IfDefine MOD_PERL2> without 
breaking anything.

So it's always -DMOD_PERL2, be it httpd.conf or C code.

+1 for MOD_PERL2 consistently everywhere
