m4: Change defn processing order
Currently, defn pushes its arguments on the stack in order, which means they are then processed in reverse order. POSIX does not specify what order they are processed in, which arguably suggests that they should be processed in the order they are listed. Push them in reverse order so they will be processed in their original order. This matches GNU m4. PR: 292937 MFC after: 1 week Sponsored by: Klara, Inc.
