[perl #69875] Slow down split in scalar context :-)

The patch to speed up split in scalar context broke Font::GlyphNames,
because it stops scalar(@array = split) from working. The attached
patch fixes this, and ineluctably slows it down slightly.

(Patch amended by replacing the 2nd GIMME_V macro call by the gimme
variable)
