Produce the right error for goto "\0"
Since we have supported for embedded nulls in strings, we shouldn’t
be using if(*label) to see whether label has a non-zero length.
It’s probably not possible to get a null into a label, but we should
still say ‘can’t find’ rather than ‘must have’ in that case.

regen/opcodes: Rmv evalonce comment
This goes all the way back to when perl 5.0 was being polished up.
The idea behind evalonce is that eval "constant string" should be
optimisable by being compiled ahead of time, just like eval { ... }.
But this could never work properly, because BEGIN blocks would only
fire once. Also, eval '$x .. $y' is an easy way to create two separ-
ate flip-flops. There are undoubtedly many other reasons why this
could never work.
So there is no reason to keep this comment any longer, as it is not
(or should not be) a to-do item.

This patch re-orders the suggestions to put the ones most likely to work
first, clarifies which directory you should be in, and moves a "see-also"

The catalyst for this was that

Don't test that errno is still 0 after POSIX::f?pathconf
I think the best we can do with respect to the f?pathconf tests is to
make sure that the perl call doesn't die, and that the system call
doesn't fail. And it's arguable we should only be testing the former.
But since we've been testing more that this anyway, it's probably safe
to test both.
With respect to the sysconf call, I think we shouldn't test more than
that perl doesn't die. Any further testing would require different
tests based the argument being passed in. Before doing that, it's
probably worth considering the purpose of the tests. I don't think we
really want to test that POSIX has been implemented correctly, only that
our layer over it is correctly implemented.
