Zack Weinberg 610c69e359 config.sub: correct Bull DPX/2-[123]00 and DPX/20 canonical names.
config.sub was mapping all single-component shorthands matching the
shell glob `dpx2*` to ‘m68k-bull-sysv3’, which is incorrect.  Of the
four different machines once manufactured by Groupe Bull whose model
number can be abbreviated ‘dpx2something’, only two were m68k-based:
the DPX/2-200 and DPX/2-300.  The DPX/2-100, on the other hand, had an
i386 CPU.  And the DPX/20 was a completely different beast, released
years later and based on the POWER architecture.

I’ve chosen to keep making ‘dpx2’ map to ‘m68k-bull-sysv3’ as the
DPX/2-200 and /2-300 seem to have been the most widely used.  config.sub
now understands ‘dpx2100’, ‘dpx2200’, and ‘dpx2300’ as shorthands for
‘i386-bull-sysv3’, ‘m68k-bull-sysv3’, and ‘m68k-bull-sysv3’ respectively.
It also accepts ‘dpx21xx’, ‘dpx22xx’, and ‘dpx22xx’ as equivalent to
these, but no other variations; in particular, ‘dpx2xxx’, which was in
the test suite, no longer works, as it is ambiguous.

(As far as I can tell, there weren’t actually any submodels of any of
these systems, so I could be persuaded to remove the …xx aliases.
I kept them mainly because of the test suite formerly testing dpx2xxx.)

Finally ‘dpx20’ now maps to ‘rs6000-bull-bosx’.  Both the ‘rs6000’ and
‘bosx’ components of this name are debatable, but I *think* it is what
config.guess would do on this machine.

Note in particular “Que cette machine soit estampillée BULL ou IBM,
elle faisait tourner AIX (l'Unix d'IBM)” on the first of these pages,
which is why I say “bosx” is debatable…
