re_intuit_start(): calc fbm_instr() end in bytes
When calculating the end limit of the string to pass to fbm_instr(),
we usually have a pointer to the latest point where the substr could
start, whereas fbm_instr() expects a pointer to the latest point where
the substr could end.
Since fmb_intr() purely matches bytes (it cares not whether those bytes
are part of a utf8 stream of not), the value of the latest end point will
always be:
(latest start point) + SvCUR(sv) - !!SvTAIL(sv)
i.e. work in bytes, even if we have utf8 values.
In some of the places where fbm_instr() is used, the calculation is being
done partially or fully in chars rather than bytes. This is not incorrect,
and indeed may in theory calculate a slightly lower end limit sometimes
and thus stop the fbm earlier. But this comes at the cost having to do
utf8 length calculations and HOPs back from the end of the string.
So we're trading off not having to do utf8 skips on the last few chars
against the fbm not uselessly searching the last few chars. These roughly
cancel each other out. But since we no longer do HOPs before starting the
fbm, we win every time the fbm doesn't get near the end of the string.
So in conclusion, simpler code and better than or equal performance.

found at any position up to, or including last, so next time we should try
at last+1. For success, if we return later it means that some other
constraint failed, and we already know that the substr wasn't found at
positions up to s-1, and that if we tried position s again we'd just
repeat the previous failure. So in both cases set to N+1.

re_intuit_start(): simplify other=anchored block
This block of code calculates 2 limits: last, last2; plus a third,
last1 = min(last, last2)

allows us to simplify the code. In particular, this means that last always
equals last1, so eliminate last1 and always use last instead.
At the same time, rename last2 to last1, so the vars have the same names /
meanings as in the other=float branch.
Here's the math (ignoring char/byte differences for simplicity's sake):
last = s (== start of just matched float substr)
- float_min_offset
+ anchored_offset
last2 = strend - minlen + anchored_offset
Let
delta = last2 - last
= (strend - minlen + anchored_offset)
- (s - float_min_offset + anchored_offset)
= (strend - s) - (minlen - float_min_offset) [1]
Now, we've just matched a floating substring at s. But this previous
match was constrained to *end* no later than end_shift chars before
strend, so it was constrained to *start* no later than
end_shift + length(float) chars before strend; i.e.
strend - s >= end_shift + length(float) [2].
Also, more or less by definition,
minlen = float_min_offset + length(float) + end_shift
or
end_shift = minlen - float_min_offset - length(float) [2]
So, combining [2] and [3] gives
strend - s >= (minlen - float_min_offset - length(float)) + length(float)
strend - s >= minlen - float_min_offset

delta >= 0

In the "just matched float substr, now match fixed substr" branch,
initially add an extra prog->anchored_offset to the last and last2 vars;
since a lot of the later calculations involve adding anchored_offset,
doing this early to the last* vars means less work in some cases. In
particular, last is calculated from s by a single
HOP4(s, prog->anchored_offset-start_shift,...)
rather than two separate
HOP3(s, -start_shift,...);
HOP3(..., prog->anchored_offset,...);

Similarly with last2. Later, we can skip adding prog->anchored_offset to

re_intuit_start(): fix another utf8 slowdown
The code that looks for a floating substr after a fixed substr has
already been found, was very slow on long utf8 strings. For example
this used to take an hour or more, and now takes millisecs:
$s = "ab" x 1_000_000;
utf8::upgrade($s);
$s =~ /ab.{1,2}x/;
When calculating the maximum position at which the floating substr could
start, there are two possible upper limits.
First, the absolute max position, ignoring the results of the previous
fixed substr match - this is the end-of-string less a bit (last1);
Second, float_max_offset on from the current origin of the regex (this
is dependent on where the fixed substr previously matched).
To decide which of these two values to use (the smaller), it used to
calculate the distance in chars from the regex origin to last1, and if
this was greater than float_max_offset, it used origin + float_max_offset
(in chars) instead.
This distance calculation involved doing a utf8 length calculation on the
majority of the string, which for long strings was a big slowdown.
Fix this by instead always using HOP3(origin + float_max_offset), but
using last1 as the upper HOP limit rather than strend, so it's always
limited to <= last1.
If L is number of chars that had to be hopped over for the distance
calculation (which could be most of the string), and if M is the
chars hopped for origin + float_max_offset (typically either small or
infinite), then we:
previously hopped: (M>=L ? L : L+M) chars
now hop: min(L,M) chars; or if M is infinite, hop 0 chars
Which is always less than or equal to the amount of work done previously,

offsets.

When the check string is anchored at a fixed offset from the start
of the string (e.g. /^..abc/), there are two similar code branches
that do a quick memNE() reject - the difference being whether SvTAIL() is
true, i.e. whether the pattern ends with $ and may match a \n.
Merge the common bits of the two branches. Technically this makes the
non-SvTAIL() branch slightly less efficient, since it will always retrieve
SvCUR(check) even when its not needed, but in practice it will already be
in the cache since we have to access SvPVX(check), and the I-cache misses
will have been reduced by reducing the code size.
It also removes one label.

RT#120692 slow intuit with long utf8 strings
Some code in re_intuit_start() that tries to find the range of chars
to which the BM substr find can be applied, uses logic that is very
inefficient once utf8 was enabled. Basically the code tries to find
the maximum end-point where the substr could be found, by taking the
minimum of:
* start + prog->check_offset_max + length(substr)
* end - prog->check_end_shift
Except that these values are in char lengths and need to be converted to
bytes before calling fbm_instr(). The code formerly involved scanning the
whole of the remaining string to determine how many chars it had.
By doing the calculation a different way, we can avoid this.
This makes the following two regexps each take milliseconds rather than
10s of seconds:
my $s = 'ab' x 1_000_000;
utf8::upgrade($s);
1 while $s =~ m/\Ga+ba+b/g;
$s=~ /^a{1,2}x/ for 1..10_000;

regcomp utf8 len cache panic
Compiling this regex:
/\x{100}[xy]\x{100}{2}/

panic: sv_len_utf8 cache 1 real 2
This was due to the code in S_study_chunk() mixing up char and byte
lengths when updating the utf8 length cache on a utf8 string that
had been extended by repeatedly duplicating the last n chars.

fix this).

t/run/locale.t: Rmv test that isn't generally valid
The return from setlocale() on a new locale is documented in Linux as
opaque, even though the Linux smokers we have return the name of the
new locale. It turns out that VMS actually does return something
different, and this test fails there. So, the test is testing for
something that just happens to be currently true on many of our systems;
hence isn't general, and hence shouldn't be tested for.
And, the test isn't necessary, as we can infer from the other tests in
the file that a locale passed via the environment actually takes hold,
as we do so for a locale which has a comma radix, and test that the
radix is correctly set.

handy.h Special case toCTRL('?') for EBCDIC
There is no change for ASCII platforms. For EBCDIC ones, toCTRL('?")
and its inverse are special cased to map to/from the APC control
character, which is the outlier control on these platforms. The reason
to special case this is that otherwise toCTRL('?') would map to a
graphic character, not a control. By outlier, I mean it is the one
control not in the single block where all the other controls are placed.
Further, it corresponds on two of the platforms with 0xFF, which is
would be an EBCDIC rub-out character corresponding to an ASCII rub-out
(or DEL) 0x7F, which is what toCTRL('?') maps to on ASCII. This is an
outlier control on ASCII not being a member of the C0 nor C1 controls.
Hence this make '?' mean the outlier control on both platforms.

Revert "'use utf8' should imply /u regex matching"
This reverts commit
bfa0ee78b652802412c3cab86bb873ed67ea6550.
This commit turned out to be contentious, and since we are past the
contentious features freeze date, no matter what else, it should be
reverted.
The argument for the commit essentially boils down to 'use utf8'
indicates that the text within its scope should be treated as utf8.
That means that any patterns with literals in them should be treated as
utf8, but utf8-encoded patterns follow Unicode rules by definition.
The arguments against it are that code relies on the way it has always
worked (even if that was an oversight), and in fact several CPAN modules
were broken by it, [perl #121162]. Also it has been the stated intent
that 'use utf8' will eventually become a no-op, meaning all text will be
treated as utf8, and that shouldn't have to mean that backwards
compatibility will be broken then.
