    Remove dbx.h, do not set PREFERRED_DEBUGGING_TYPE from dbxcoff.h, lynx.h
    
    The following removes the unused config/dbx.h file and removes the
    setting of PREFERRED_DEBUGGING_TYPE from dbxcoff.h which is
    overridden by all users (djgpp/mingw/cygwin) via either including
    config/i386/djgpp.h or config/i386/cygming.h
    
    There are still circumstances where mingw and cygwin default to
    STABS, namely when HAVE_GAS_PE_SECREL32_RELOC is not defined and
    the target defaults to 32bit code generation.
    
    The new style handling DBX_DEBUGGING_INFO is in line with
    dbxelf.h which does not define PREFERRED_DEBUGGING_TYPE either.
    
    The patch also removes the PREFERRED_DEBUGGING_TYPE define from
    lynx.h which always follows elfos.h already defaulting to DWARF,
    so the comment about STABS being the default is misleading and
    outdated.
