WAF 2.x broken a lot of configure checks

Hi,

I just found that the values in
bin/c4che/default.cache.py differ between
the old and new versions of waf.

The old one had = () for undefined values
the new one has = 0 for undefined values

This is related to change to define/undefine/define_cond in
third_party/waf/wafadmin/Tools/config_c.py
vs.
third_party/waf/waflib/Tools/c_config.py

And we now have buildtools/wafsamba/samba_waf18.py,
which also provides define() and undefine().

I found that by building on FreeBSD 11 with gcc.

The check for HAVE_WORKING_STRPTIME was broken
as CONFIG_SET() returned True if HAVE_WORKING_STRPTIME is 0,
while it returned False when it was ().

Adding this to CONFIG_SET fixed it:
if v == 0:
    return False

But I'm wondering about what else might be affected.

Should we better try to get '= ()' again in
bin/c4che/default.cache.py?

On my Linux box I had this before:

less bin/c4che/default.cache.py | grep '= 0'
HAVE_DECL_KRB5_AUTH_CON_SET_REQ_CKSUMTYPE = 0
HAVE_DECL_KRB5_GET_CREDENTIALS_FOR_USER = 0

and now I have this:

less bin/c4che/default_cache.py | grep '= 0'
HAVE_BSD_STRTOLL = 0
HAVE_DECL_KRB5_AUTH_CON_SET_REQ_CKSUMTYPE = 0
HAVE_DECL_KRB5_GET_CREDENTIALS_FOR_USER = 0
HAVE_INCOHERENT_MMAP = 0

Any idea?

Thanks!
