Disable $[ under 5.16
This adds the array_base feature to feature.pm
Perl_feature_is_enabled has been modified to use PL_curcop, rather
than PL_hintgv, so it can work with run-time hints as well.
(PL_curcop holds the current state op at run time, and &PL_compiling
at compile time, so it works for both.) The hints in $^H are not
stored in the same place at compile time and run time, so the FEATURE_IS_ENABLED macro has been modified to check first whether
PL_curop == &PL_compiling.
Since array_base is on by default with no hint for it in %^H, it is
a ‘negative’ feature, whose entry in %^H turns it off. feature.pm
has been modified to support such negative features. The new FEATURE_IS_ENABLED_d can check whether such default features
are enabled.
This does make things less efficient, as every version declaration
now loads feature.pm to disable all features (including turning off
array_base, which entails adding an entry to %^H) before loading the
new bundle. I have plans to make this more efficient.

[RT #78266] Don't leak memory when accessing named captures that didn't match
Since 5.10 (probably
44a2ac759e) named captures have been leaking
memory when they're used, don't actually match, but are later
accessed. E.g.:
$ perl -wle 'for (1..10_000_000) { if ("foo" =~ /(foo|(?<capture>bar))?/) { my $capture = $+{capture} } } system "ps -o rss $$"'
RSS

Here we match the "foo" branch of our regex, but since we've used a
name capture we'll end up running the code in
Perl_reg_named_buff_fetch, which allocates a newSVsv(&PL_sv_undef) but
never uses it unless it's trying to return an array.
Just change that code not to allocate scalars we don't plan to
return. With this fix we don't leak any memory since there's nothing
to leak anymore.

Remove explicit support for pre-7.0 VMS and pre-6.0 DEC C.
OpenVMS v7.0 was released in 1995. There have been no reports of
recent releases of Perl building on versions that far back, yet we
still have quite a bit of code that explicitly supports versions
*prior* to v7.0.
There is a similar story for DEC C v6.0. It was released in 1998,
and has been superceded by numerous subsequent versions. Yet the
VMS-specific code in the core is littered with workarounds and
hacks that defend against deficiencies in very old compiler
versions.
This code is for all practical purposes no longer maintained or
maintainable, so the best path forward seems to be to remove it.
Anyone able and willing to commit to long-term support of it
could argue for its restoration, assuming Perl 5.14.x is not

Use syntax from perlguts for testing objects
The following paragraph is in perlguts.pod:
To check if you've got an object derived from a specific class you have
to write:
if (sv_isobject(sv) && sv_derived_from(sv, class)) { ... }
which does the right thing with magical things like tied scalars.

Fix segfault on overloaded arithmetic assignment
Consider an arithmetic assignment operation of the form
$left += $right
A segfault was occuring in the case where $right is an overloaded object
but $left is not; and where $right does not override "+=" but does
provide a 'nomethod' override. Internally, Perl_amagic_call was
attempting to clone $left as if it were an overloaded object, causing the
segfault. This commit fixes the segfault by only cloning the left
operand when the left operand is the overloaded one.

Remove "support" for using malloc.c outside the perl core distribution.
It only ever worked properly in 5.005.
Commit
d720c4410d3a0730 from June 1998 is the first known version of malloc.c
that would compile stand alone, without needing a config.h
Commit
5bbd1ef51ee0ebfa from December 1998 will not compile by default,
but will if one provides suitable definitions of simple macros on the command
line.
Commit
427181846486e3aa from September 1999 will not compile with command
line flags alone.
12 years later, no-one has reported problems, so it's safe to remove this.

Remove commented-out "support" for perl's malloc with x2p.
In 1998 commit
30e2e4257067d5f8 stated
temporarily disable perl malloc for a2p until we clean up
conflicting malloc() declarations everywhere
and nothing has changed since. 13 years later, no-one has reported problems,
so it's safe to remove it.

perl.h can include embed.h in the same location on all operating systems.
Commit
22c35a8c2392967a (October 1988) added a #include "embed.h" later in
perl.h for when building with PERL_OBJECT defined. Commit
d18c61170a306915
(November 1988) added an effectively duplicate #include for all WIN32.
Commit
0cb9638729211ea7 (June 1999) corrected the made the earlier #include
in perl.h also conditional on !PERL_OBJECT (in addition to the
!PERL_FOR_X2P added by
22c35a8c2392967a), but it wasn't until commit
d18c61170a306915 (November 1999) that this changed this to !WIN32, and
embed.h was included exactly once by perl.h (as a2p never actually includes
perl.h).
Commit
acfe0abcedaf592f (August 2001) removed the PERL_OBJECT code from
perl.h, reducing the duplication somewhat, but commit
96e176bf068724d0
(October 2001) created analogous special case duplication for VMS, and
commit
27da23d53ccce622 (April 2005) for Symbian. Commit
eb8433b7af0f2e09
(March 2006) then neatly put the same #ifndef PERL_MAD code after all 4
locations that included embed.h and commit
b3f24c00097febc1 (April 2006)
made the same correction in all 4 places.
But, the daft part of all this is that there was no reason why Win32 was
special - every other operating system can build perl with embed.h included
later in perl.h
Hence the earlier 3 locations can be eliminated, and the was-just-Win32
location made unconditional.
Which saves some lines of code. But fewer lines than are in this commit
message.

perl.h doesn't need special cases for x2p, as x2p doesn't include it.
Commit
22c35a8c2392967a in October 1998 added an #if !defined(PERL_FOR_X2P)
guard to prevent perl.h from including embed.h when being used to compile
a2p. However, this was not needed even then, because embed.h only contains
pre-processor directives (mostly #define) related to tokens unused in a2p's
C code, so its continued inclusion would not have any effect. Moreover a2p
never actually included perl.h from its own code - only its copy of malloc.c
would include perl.h, and that only if perl was configured to use its own
malloc. But even x2p's use of malloc.c had been "temporarily disabled" by
commit
30e2e4257067d5f8 1 month earlier, so there was never a need for this.
