When perlio flushes down to the unix layer, it can introduce a
spurious record boundary when writing to a record-oriented file.
Perl may create such files when doing edit-in-place or any other
context where the file format is inherited from a previous
version of the file.

The problem can be eliminated by enabling line buffering on such
files when they are opened.  This was a regression in 5.10.0 since
before that stdio's buffering performed the same function.

N.B.  Lines longer than the size of the perlio buffer will still
result in multiple records -- a larger buffer may be necessary.

Change the custom op registrations from two separate hashes to one hash
holding structure pointers, and add API functions to register ops and

ops in the future. Copy entries across from the old hashes where
necessary, to preserve compatibility.

Add two new properties, in addition to the already-existing 'name' and
'description': 'class' and 'peep'. 'class' is one of the OA_*OP
constants, and allows B and other introspection mechanisms to work with
custom ops that aren't BASEOPs. 'peep' is a pointer to a function that
will be called for ops of this type from Perl_rpeep.

custom ops their registered name rather than simply 'custom'.
