Improve diagnostics.pm’s link rendering.
The number of L<foo/bar> links in perldiag has grown over time, and
diagnostics.pm has never been updated to render them nicely, resulting
in output like this:
Lexing code attempted to stuff non-Latin-1 character into Latin-1 input at
lib/diagnostics.t line 36 (#3)
(F) An extension is attempting to insert text into the current parse
(using lex_stuff_pvn_flags|perlapi/lex_stuff_pvn_flags or similar), but
tried to insert a character that couldn't be part of the current input.
This is an inherent pitfall of the stuffing mechanism, and one of the
reasons to avoid it. Where it is necessary to stuff, stuffing only
plain ASCII is recommended.
I’ve implemented some rudimentary L<> parsing, which should suffice
for perldiag. I think using a real POD processor would be overkill.

Prevent destructors called from gp_free from seeing freed SVs

SV = UNKNOWN(0xff) (0x8044dc) at 0x8044e0
REFCNT = 0
FLAGS = ()
If I do anything with $foo inside the destructor, such as
‘local $foo’, it crashes, of course.
gp_free (called when *foo is being unlocalised on scope exit) does
SvREFCNT_dec(gp->gp_xv) on each of its slots.
SvREFCNT_dec(gp->gp_sv) lowers the refcount of $foo to zero, which
causes the object it references to be destroyed, too. The objects
destructor sees the same $foo still there in the typeglob.
This commit changes gp_free to use a loop, the way S_hfreeentries
(in hv.c) does, checking that everything has been freed before exit-
ing the loop.

perl -MWWW::Scripter -e '$w = new WWW::Scripter; $w->use_plugin(JavaScript); $w->get(q|data:text/html,<a href onclick="throw new Error("XMLHttpRequest")">|); $w->document->links->[0]->click'
