[Merge] Fix bugs involving compilation and ro SVs
There was an exception in sv_force_normal_flags that allowed read-only
scalars to be modified at compile time (present since
8990e30710, aka
\perl 5.0 alpha 6), which is convenient for modifying op trees.
Unfortunately, much of the code relying on it was simply buggy. So
this commit fixes those bugs and removes the exception. In some cases
the bug fixes led to other bug fixes, not necessarily related to
sv_force_normal/SvREADONLY.

Remove ‘Can't coerce readonly %s’ error
$ ./perl -Ilib -e 'for(\1){ vec($_,0,1)=1 }'
Can't coerce readonly REF to string in sassign at -e line 1.
Why not ‘Modification of a read-only value’ as elsewhere?
The code in question, in sv_pvn_force_flags, allows references to
bypass the initial read-only check. (This has been the case since
perl-5.005_02-1047-g6fc9266. I think it was a mistake.) Then there
is a check further down that croaks with this error, unless called as
SvPV_force_mutable (i.e., with the SV_MUTABLE_RETURN flag).
So that means read-only references can silently be flattened, regard-
less of the read-only flag, if the caller uses SvPV_force_mutable.
Fortunately, the only use of that macro in the core is in fbm_compile,
which I recently modified so that it wouldn’t touch references at all.
I don’t understand the logic that allows read-only thingies to be mod-
ified in the presence of the SV_MUTABLE_RETURN flag, but not other-
wise. As of the previous commit, which removed the exception for
read-only scalars at compile time, nothing can reach that code except
read-only references.
This commit restores the logic inadvertently changed by 6fc9266 and
removes the code that becomes unreachable as a result.

Bizarre copy of IO in sassign at -e line 1.
Well, passing the existing string to filter_add causes that string
*itself* to be upgraded to SVt_PVIO, which is clearly not a good thing
if the caller can still reference it. So we end up with $ bound to an
IO thingy.
And if the referent is a REGEXP, we get a crash during global destruc-

REGEXP->PVIO upgrades from being legal. (Clearly they don’t work.)
The easiest way to fix this is to copy the string into a new scalar,

By passing to fbm_compile the SV that is the second argument to

That means, for example, that dualvars will lose their numeric

code blocks).
This patch allows POK-only SVs to be compiled into BMs in place, as
it just adds magic and does not otherwise affect them. Other SVs get
copied first.
Also, I avoided a compile-time uninitialized warning by not running
fbm_compile on undef SVs.

Stop split from mangling constants
At compile time, if split occurs on the right-hand side of an assign-
ment to a list of scalars, if the limit argument is a constant con-
taining the number 0 then it is modified in place to hold one more
than the number of scalars.
This means ‘constants’ can change their values, if they happen to be
in the wrong place at the wrong time:
$ ./perl -Ilib -le 'use constant NULL => 0; ($a,$b,$c) = split //, $foo, NULL; print NULL'

I considered checking the reference count on the SV, but since XS code
could create its own const ops with weak references to the same cons-
tants elsewhere, the safest way to avoid modifying someone else’s SV
is to mark the split op in ck_split so we know the SV belongs to that
split op alone.
Also, to be on the safe side, turn off the read-only flag before modi-
fying the SV, instead of relying on the special case for compile time
in sv_force_normal.

[perl #118047] Don’t warn for tr//a/c
Since /c means to invert the search list (the empty string), making
it match all characters, it doesn’t make sense to warning about the
replacement list (a) being longer than the search list.

If miniperl fails the simple Exporter test, print a message and bail out.
Previously the Makefile rule for miniperl would attempt to automatically run
minitest if the simple Exporter test failed. It did this by recursively
calling make in the same directory, which is not a totally safe thing to do
even at the best of times.
However commit
cb251201d6951395, necessary to simplify other parts of the
toolchain bootstrapping, has made it easy to trigger an infinite loop of
Makefile recursion if miniperl is unable to run the simple Exporter test.
So, for now, defuse the trap by avoiding the recursive make call. A better
long term solution will be to set up and run minitest by something other than
a Makefile target, such as a shell script. As it's not immediately obvious how
to best integrate this with ./runtests, commit this simpler fix for now.

For *nix, only delete the ppport.h files that we created.
Given that we have the list of places to create ppport.h files easily
accessible, it's easy to delete only the files that we created, and avoid a
find recursing into all of ext/, dist/ and cpan/. This also means that if
anyone drops a module from CPAN into ext/ to build it as part of the core,
any ppport.h it has won't be wiped out by the core. This is one of the few
things that goes wrong, as the rest of the distclean target is very careful
to only delete files that it knows that the build process built.

UTF8f
This new format string allows char*s to be interpolated with the
utf8ness and length specified as well:
Perl_croak(aTHX_ "Couldn't twiggle the twoggle in \"%"UTF8f"\"",
is_utf8, len, s);
This commit changes one function call in gv.c to use UTF8f (it should
go faster now) as an example of its use.
This was brought up in ticket #113824. This commit does not fix
#113824, but provides groundwork that makes it easier to fix.
