Description

We can replace `C_externimport` and `C_externexport` with `C_extern`. Also, `C_fcall` can be removed. Possibly also `C_regparm` and `C_ccall` as these refer to obsolete features.

`C_TLS` was never used and should go.

Note: `C_externimport` and `C_externexport` are produced bz the compiler, so need to be retained for at least one release.
