Make $$ writable, but still magical
This commit makes $$ writable again, as it was in 5.6, while preserv-
ing the magical pid-fetching added recently (post-5.14.0) by com-
mit
0e219455.
It does this by following Aristotle Pagaltzis’ brilliant suggestion in
<
20110609145148.GD8471@klangraum.plasmasturm.org>; namely, to store
the PID in magic when $$ is written to, so that get-magic can detect
whether a fork() has occurred and reset $$ accordingly. This makes it
seem as though the fork() code sets $$ itself (which it used to before
0e219455), while even working when C code outside of perl’s control
calls fork().
This restores compatibility with DBIx::Connector and PPerl.

Completely free hashes containing nulls
This fixes a regression introduced since 5.14.0, by commit
e0171a1a3.
The new Perl_hfree_next_entry function that that commit introduced
returns the value of the hash element, or NULL if there are none left.
If the value of the hash element is NULL, the two cases are indistin-
guishable.
Before
e0171a1a3, all the hash code took null values into account.
mro_package_moved took advantage of that, stealing values out of a
hash and leaving it to the freeing code to delete the elements.
The two places that call Perl_hfree_next_entry (there was only one,
S_hfreeentries, with commit
e0171a1a3, but the following commit,
104d7b699c, made sv_clear call it, too) were not accounting for NULL
values’ being returned, and could terminate early, resulting in mem-
ory leaks.
One could argue that the perl core should not be assigning nulls to
HeVAL, but HeVAL is part of the public API and there could be CPAN
code assigning NULL to it, too.
So the safest approach seems to be to modify Perl_hfree_next_entry’s
callers to check the number of keys and not to attribute a signifi-
cance to a returned NULL.

Generate the definitions for magic vtables from data in a regen script.
Previously perl.h contained a long section of MGVTBL_SET() macros declaring
the core's various magic vtables. Convert the information into data structures
in a new script regen/mg_table.pl, and use this to generate a new file
mg_vtable.h, included by perl.h
This is the first step in reducing the number of places that data relating to
magic vtables is declared (and has to be kept in sync), and will allow more
flexibility in parts of the core's implementation.

Abolish PL_vtbl_sig. It's been all 0s since it was added in 5.0 alpha 2.
Magic with a NULL vtable is equivalent to magic with a vtable of all 0s.
On CPAN, only Apache::Peek's code for 5.005 is referencing it.

Store FBMs in PVMGs, instead of GVs.
This should reduce the complexity of code dealing with GVs, as they no longer
try to play several different incompatible roles.
(As suggested by Ben Morrow. However, it didn't turn out to be as
straightforward as one might have hoped).

Store the BM table in mg_ptr instead of after SvCUR().
Previously the 256 byte Boyer-Moore table was stored in the buffer of SvPVX()
after the raw string by extending the buffer.
Given that the scalar is alway upgraded to add PERL_MAGIC_bm magic, to clear
the table and other flags, there's no extra memory cost in using mg_ptr in the
MAGIC struct to point directly to the table.
I believe that this removes the last place in the core that stores data beyond
SvCUR().

Exit early from Perl_fbm_compile() if the SV is already "compiled".

In Perl_fbm_instr(), use a switch() statement for the special case code.

In Perl_fbm_compile(), use STRLEN instead of U32 to calculate BmPREVIOUS().
This should fix a theoretical bug on strings longer than 2**32 bytes where the
byte referenced by BmRARE() is at an offset beyond 2**32. I'm not sure how to
test this, as I think to trigger it one would need to have one of
a: the second argument to index as a string literal, longer than 2**32 bytes
b: a fixed string in a regex, longer than 2**32 bytes

Abolish xbm_rare. Move BmUSEFUL() to union _xnvu and BmPREVIOUS() to the UV.
This reduces the complexity of the union declarations in sv.h.
As B.xs is accessing the structures/unions directly, instead of using the

Emulate the value of BmFLAGS() using SvTAIL().
Don't set BmFLAGS() in Perl_fbm_compile()

added the U32 flags argument to fbm_compile(), not used until
cf93c79d660ae36c.
That commit also added FBMcf_TAIL and FBMcf_TAIL{z,Z,DOLLAR} but didn't use the
last three. Additionally, it stored the BmFLAGS as part of the compiled table:
+ table[-1] = flags; /* Not used yet */
f722798beaa43749 added FBMcf_TAIL_DOLLARM, renumbered FBMcf_TAIL{z,Z,DOLLAR},
but still didn't use anything other than FBMcf_TAIL.
The core, nothing on CPAN, and nothing visible to Google codesearch, has ever
used the 4 specialist flags. The only use is 0 or FBMcf_TAIL, which is in
lockstep with SvTAIL() of 0 or non-0.

In Perl_sv_2[inu]v_flags(), use the non-caching code whenever SvVALID() is true
Previous the non-caching code was only used when SvVALID() was true on a PVGV.
However, PVLVs can also perform all the roles of a PVGV, so could conceivably
be acting as FBMs. As it's safe to test SvVALID() on any scalar SV, do so, as
the compiler can combine the flag test for SvVALID() with that for
SvGMAGICAL(), producing tighter object code.
