Fix SEGVs and test failures for -DPERL_GLOBAL_STRUCT_PRIVATE
With PERL_GLOBAL_STRUCT_PRIVATE "global" variables are in a structure in
malloc()ed memory, not in global static variables or a global static
structure. Hence no global variables are implicitly initialised to zero.
* PL_curinterp and PL_op_sequence need initialising to NULL
* The global structure is free()d before handlers registered with atexit()
run, so be defensive about this.
* Some C code checks SvOK(PL_sv_placeholder) so ensure that its SvFLAGS()
are 0.
* Zero PL_hash_seed
