Move the "DR_intorel" struct to a more suitable position

Generally, we should define struct in the header file(.h). But I found struct "DR_intorel" in createas.c and it doesn't seem to be properly defined. May be it should define in createas.h.
Besides, this is my first contribution. If there are any submitted questions, please let me know. Thank you~ :)

Why? It's perfectly sensible to define types in .c files when they're not used elsewhere.

Greetings,

We put struct declarations in header files when multiple other files needs to
know about it. For DR_intorel it's a private struct that isn't needed outside
createas.c, so it's defined in the file. You can find a lot of similar usage
in the source.
