I have been using CANNOT_DUMP for testing Emacs in debugging frameworks
that are incompatible with unexec. As far as I know, this was the only
remaining practical use for the traditional meaning of CANNOT_DUMP
(nobody was using Emacs in CANNOT_DUMP mode for ordinary use).
As pdumper makes this usage obsolete, we should retire this obsolete use
of CANNOT_DUMP and rename the identifier to something more reasonable
(e.g., to PORTABLE_DUMP as Glenn suggested).
