Restore use of PL_stashcache, the stash name lookup cache for method calls.

Commit da6b625f78f5f133 in Aug 2011 inadvertently broke the code that looks
up values in PL_stashcache. As it's a only cache, quite correctly everything
carried on working without it.

Restoring it re-introduces two bugs first introduced when PL_stashcache was
added, by commit 081fc587427bbcef in Apr 2003.
