Bug#765174: [PATCH] Don't call modperl_threaded_mpm() et al. from XS code

r594345 (and later r1241983 and r1245916, all merged into trunk with
r1602105) modified modperl_trace() to call functions that are provided
by mod_perl.c. However, the same code is compiled into the APR XS module
without mod_perl.o linkage, so we end up with missing symbols in APR.so.

% objdump -T blib/arch/auto/APR/APR.so|grep UND|grep modperl
0000000000000000      D  *UND*  0000000000000000              modperl_is_running
0000000000000000      D  *UND*  0000000000000000              modperl_threaded_mpm
0000000000000000      D  *UND*  0000000000000000              modperl_threads_started

For the most part these missing symbols don't matter when modperl_trace()
doesn't actually get called, but CPAN modules like Apache-Gallery that
use APR and run their suites with PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 now fail their tests
because of this.

Guard the problematic invocations with #ifndef MP_IN_XS, which is
defined for the XS module builds.
