Merge ~epics-contrib/epics-base/+git/contrib:tidy-startup into ~epics-core/epics-base/+git/epics-base:3.14

[Andrew Johnson]

A tidy-up of the Base startup directory, which should be suitable for all branches.

The EpicsHostArch.pl script has been rewritten, and moved to src/tools from where it gets installed into lib/perl (ci/travis-build.sh has been adjusted to find it there).
The original EpicsHostArch shell-script has been replaced with one that finds and runs the Perl version.
