new contents for the /vms directory

The following change effectively disables an old work-around (filename fall-back?) that was derailing the regression tests.

************
File DSA1:[Hoffman.LIBXML2-2_7_7]runtest.c;4
  584   #ifdef VMS_ODS2
  585   // The following was intended to provide a fall-back to ODS-2 naming,
  586   // and that's now messing up the self-tests.  Switch to ODS-5, and 
  587   // leave this code disabled; particularly if you want the self-tests.
  588       if(strstr(base,".") && suffixbuff[0]=='.')

File SRH:[libxml2-277x.LIBXML2-2_7_7]runtest.c;1
  584   #ifdef VMS
  585       if(strstr(base,".") && suffixbuff[0]=='.')
************

Updated VMS DCL build procedures, release notes, diffs, and /vms directory contents attached via zip.

The following is the current state of the regressions with these and the previously-provided changes.  (I'll be taking a look at these cases.)
