[Packages]: fix compile environment

For some time packages have been built with this XEmacs: xemacs -no-autoloads -batch $(PRELOADS) -l package-compile.el -- $(REQUIRES) -- which is obviously wrong given that the function of package-compile is to clear and properly set up the load path. This leads to the problem that if a preloaded library has been installed on the system, the build process will pick up the installed version, _not_ the source version. This is the reason that many Makefiles preload own-package libraries as -l ./preload-lib.el. Sometimes people also add -eval clauses to PRELOADS to get the libraries loaded from the source tree. Simply changing the definition of BOOT_XEMACS to xemacs -no-autoloads -batch -l package-compile.el -- $(REQUIRES) -- $(PRELOADS) fixes both problems. I've successfully done make World from a completely clean state with this, and in light testing the packages seem to be running correctly. Few packages needed any change at all, although I think it's probably a good idea to clean up the ugly ./ prefixes and -eval clauses in PRELOADS. It would be nice if a few people could try rebuilding their package trees and doing some of this Makefile cleanup in their favorite packages before Steve Y applies this.
