make t/op/rand.t fail less often
test 5 grabs many random numbers, and analyses the distribution
of 0 and 1 bits in the returned values.
It currently fails if the standard deviation is > 3.3.
This means it will fail on roughly 0.1% of runs even for a good system.
Given that an individual smoke report may contain 60+ runs, and given the
number of smokers running, this means that we see false negatives
essentially every day.
Increase the SD threshold to 4.0, which means that it will now fail every
0.006% runs; i.e. go from 1 in 1,000 false positives to one in 17,000
(approx).
(Note that just increasing the number of iterations in the run doesn't
change the 0.1% run failure rate.)

pack test failures with long doubles on x86/gcc
[perl #86534]
When using 80-bit extended precision floats, gcc-generated code
can sometimes copy 10 bytes and sometimes 12. This can lead to 2 random
bytes something appearing in the output of pack('F') and pack('D').
Work around this by using sv_2nv() rather than SvNV()
(which expands to (SvNOK(sv) ? SvNVX(sv) : sv_2nv(sv) )
The basic issue is that the NV return value of a function is returned
in a floating point register, which is then written to memory as 10 bytes,
whereas a direct assignment, e.g. NV nv1 = nv2, is done by a 12-byte
memory copy.
However, when the sv_2nv() function is called as part of the ?:
expression, its returned value is written as *10* bytes to a temp location
on the stack, which is then copied as a *12* byte value to its final
destination, picking up 2 bytes of random data from the stack, which then
appears in the output of pack(), and ultimately leads to a test failure.

regcomp.c: Remove FOLDCHAR generation
ANYOFV handles multi-char folds in ANYOF nodes, and it turns
out it is a superset of what FOLDCHAR does, which never got fully
implemented in regexec.c, whereas ANYOFV is. FOLDCHAR may be the better
way to go in the long-term, as it takes less space and is faster, but
this gives us the functionality today, with no extra work.
FOLDCHAR had been generated only when the character in question is a
literal in the input stream, and wasn't touched for the probably more
common use of \N{} or \x, which were fixed from not doing anything
special to using ANYOFV earlier in the 5.13 series, and it turns out
that the code that does it all is in a part of the code that gets
executed anyway, so that simply removing the special FOLDCHAR code
causes execution to drop down to this code.
I'm thinking at the moment that for 5.16, ANYOV should be removed in
favor of branches, using the technique of recursion that has recently
been added to \N{}. That would enable easier trie generation and
simplify things in regexec and the optimizer.
