Remove todo for UTF8 source filters

Source filters don’t really make sense on character streams.  They are
designed for streams of bytes coming straight from a file.  Things
stop making sense if you have ‘use utf8’ in a UTF-8 scalar (does that
mean double-decode?).

It’s for this reason that evalbytes respects source filters, while
eval does not.  (It doesn’t outside the unicode_eval feature, because
it was never really thought about and the implementation didn’t take
it into account, resulting in strange behaviour.  It doesn’t with the
unicode_eval feature, because it was intentionally prohibited.)

[perl #112184] Handle $^N in Perl_magic_set

$^N is a magical variable, like $1 and $2, with the usual ‘sv’

Perl_magic_set didn’t have a case for it, so it simply ignored it and

ture from the last match, or in the absence of regexp plugins, it
croaks with ‘Modification of a read-only value’.

regen/opcodes: Rmv evalonce comment

This goes all the way back to when perl 5.0 was being polished up.
The idea behind evalonce is that eval "constant string" should be
optimisable by being compiled ahead of time, just like eval { ... }.
But this could never work properly, because BEGIN blocks would only
fire once.  Also, eval '$x .. $y' is an easy way to create two separ-
ate flip-flops.  There are undoubtedly many other reasons why this
could never work.

So there is no reason to keep this comment any longer, as it is not
(or should not be) a to-do item.

Don't test that errno is still 0 after POSIX::f?pathconf

I think the best we can do with respect to the f?pathconf tests is to
make sure that the perl call doesn't die, and that the system call
doesn't fail.  And it's arguable we should only be testing the former.
But since we've been testing more that this anyway, it's probably safe
to test both.

With respect to the sysconf call, I think we shouldn't test more than
that perl doesn't die.  Any further testing would require different
tests based the argument being passed in.  Before doing that, it's
probably worth considering the purpose of the tests.  I don't think we
really want to test that POSIX has been implemented correctly, only that
our layer over it is correctly implemented.

This fixes RT #112866.
