PATCH: [perl #89750]: Unicode regex negated case-insensitivity
This patch causes inverted [bracketed] character classes to not handle
multi-character folds. The reason is that these can lead to very
counter-intuitive results (see bug discussion).
In an inverted character class, only single-char folds are now
generated. However the fold for \xDF=>ss is hard-coded in,
and it was too much trouble sending flags to the sub-sub routine that
does this, so another check is done at the point of storing the list of
multi-char folds. Since \xDF doesn't have a single char fold, this
works.

utf8.c: Add _flags version of to_utf8_fold()

The flag allows retrieving either simple or full folds.

into macros calling the new versions with the correct extra parameter.

dispatch signals when leaving an eval
Currently PERL_ASYNC_CHECK is only called during scope exit in pp_leavetry

eval won't catch it.
This broke Sys::AlarmCall's test suite, which was doing the equivalent of
$SIG{ALRM} = sub { die };
eval {
alarm(1);
select(undef, undef, undef, 10);
}
# expect the die to get caught and $@ set here.
Because the select was the last statement in the block, PERL_ASYNC_CHECK
wasn't called next until the leave_scope at the end of leavetry.
See RT #88774.
The simple fix is to add a PERL_ASYNC_CHECK at the top of
leavetry and leaveeval.

As part of their switch to a multi-arch library layout,
Ubuntu 11.04 (and later, presumably) doesn't keep most libraries
(such as -lm) in /lib or /usr/lib. So we have to ask gcc to tell us
where to look. We don't want gcc's own libraries, however, so we
filter those out.
This could be conditional on Ubuntu, but other distributions have
announced their intent follow suit, and this scheme seems to work even
on rather old gcc's. This unconditionally uses gcc because even if the
user is using another compiler, we still need to find the math library
and friends, and I don't know how other compilers will cope with that
situation. Still, as an escape hatch, allow Configure command line
overrides to plibpth to bypass this check.

Followup to 088225f/[perl #88132]: packages ending with :
Commit 088225f was not sufficient to fix the regression. It still
exists for packages whose names end with a single colon.
I discovered this when trying to determine why RDF::Trine was crashing
with 5.14-to-be.
In trying to write tests for it, I ended up triggering the same crash
that RDF::Trine is having, but in a different way.
In the end, it was easier to fix about three or four bugs (depending
on how you count them), rather than try to fix only the regression
that #88132 deals with (isa caches not updating when packages ending
with colons are aliased), as they are all intertwined.
The changes are as follows:
Concerning the if (!(flags & ~GV_NOADD_MASK)...) statement in
gv_stashpvn: Normally, gv_fetchpvn_flags (which it calls and whose
retval is assigned to tmpgv) returns NULL if it has not been told
to add anything and if the gv requested looks like a stash gv (ends
with ::). If the number of colons is odd (foo:::), that code path is
bypassed, so gv_stashpvn returns a GV without a hash. So gv_stashpvn
tries to used that NULL hash and crashes. It should instead return
NULL, to be consistent with the two-colon case.
Blindly assigning a name to a stash does not work if the stash has
multiple effective names. A call to mro_package_moved is required as
well. So what gv_stashpvn was doing was insufficient.
The parts of the mro code that check for globs or stash elems that
contain stashes by looking for :: at the end of the name now take into
account that the name might consist of a single : instead.

IPC::Open3 needs porting to work on VMS.
So skip the test for now. Something like the Win32 mechanism
spawn_with_handles() may be workable but needs investigation.

Don't copy all of %ENV in prereq.t.
It's sufficient for purposes of enabling prerequisite warnings to
set a localized $ENV{PERL_CORE} to undef rather than making a local
copy of the entire %ENV hash. This makes the test pass on VMS,
where copying %ENV in toto is not supported.
This fixes a smoke failure, so borrow it from upstream, where it's
already released as part of MM 6.57_10. 6.58 will contain an
additional tweak that works with Perl 5.6, but no need to worry
about that here.

In the release guide, mention the AdvanceCOMP can compress gzip files better.
It's an option release managers (on *nix) might want to be aware of.

stop waithires.t failing under high load
In threads::shared, the waithires.t test checks cond_timedwait() with
sub-second timeouts. If the newly-minted child doesn't manage to grab the
lock within 0.05s, the cond_timedwait() will timeout, and the child and
the test will hang, until eventually killed off by the watchdog. This can
easily happen on a slow/loaded system.
We fix this by putting the cond_timedwait() in a retry loop, only giving
up after 10 seconds of repeated timeouts.

[perl #88486] IO::File does not always export SEEK*
Commit d963bf0 made perl set @IO::File::ISA automagically.
Commit 15e6cdd made filehandle methods load IO::File automagically.
Commit efc5c7c attempted to solve the problem that having IO::Handle
loaded causes IO::File to be bypassed, rendering 15e6cdd only
semi-effective (see [perl #87940]), by requiring IO::File inside
IO::Handle.
That commit ended up breaking several CPAN modules, because IO::File
adds @IO::Seekable::EXPORT to its own exports.
If IO::Seekable is loaded first (before IO::File), before setting up
its @EXPORT it loads IO::Handle, which loads IO::File, which tries to
load IO::Seekable, which is in %INC already, and which is hence wait-
ing for IO::File to load before it sets its own @EXPORT. So IO::File
sees @IO::Seekable::EXPORT empty.
Hence, every piece of code that tries to import SEEK_END from IO::File
will simply not get it if IO::Seekable is already loaded (explicitly
or, e.g., by File::Temp).
This commit hopefully fixes the breakage and the problem that efc5c7c
attempted to fix by loading IO::File only inside IO::Handle::new (the
only method that IO::File overrides).

[perl #88420] BOM support on Windows broken in 5.13.11
When Perl reads the script in text mode, then the tell() position
on the script handle may include stripped carriage return characters.
Therefore the file position after reading the first line of the
script may be one larger than the length of the input buffer.

[perl #88132] broken ISA lookup after aliasing packages ending with ::
gv_fetchpvn_flags did not always assign a name to a return HV ending
with ::. This would result in code in various places skipping certain
‘stashes’ (in quotes because nameless HVs are technically not stashes)
because they were nameless when they should not have been.
So sometimes ISA caches would end up being out of date, as in the test
cases posted with [perl #88132] (and incorporated into this patch).
This commit fixes that by changing the parsing of glob names.
Formerly, a :: was not considered a package separator if it came imme-
diately after a ::. So foo:::: would become foo::/:: (with the final
:: considered a regular stash entry, not a ‘stash’ stash entry) and
foo:::::: would become foo::/:::/:.
Now a :: is always a package separator. So *foo::::bar is accessible
via $foo::{"::"}{bar} and *$foo:::::: via $foo::{"::"}{"::"}.
This happens to fix [perl #88134] as well.
