Fix critical use-after-free bug in LZMA/BZ2/ZLib decompressor routines
when reusing decompressor instances after a MemoryError was raised from
one.

While here:

- fix DEBUG build/package (several %%ABI%% were in the wrong place
  in pkg-plist that caused failed installs)
- switch to using system textproc/expat2 library
- issue warnings in pre-test that IPV6, PYMALLOC are required and
  DEBUG also breaks one self-test
- bump PORTREVISION
- drop LTOFULL again and make LTO use =full
