stop passing '.' in @INC to tests

Currently TestInit.pm adds '.' to @INC (except if running under taint).
Since *all* tests run from the perl core are invoked as

    perl -MTestInit[=arg,arg,..] some/test.t

this means that all test scripts (including those under cpan/ etc) are
excuted with dot present, regardless of the settings of
$PERL_USE_UNSAFE_INC and -Ddefault_inc_excludes_dot.

This commit changes it so that:

1) TestInit.pm transparently passes though a trailing dot in @INC
if present (so it now honours $PERL_USE_UNSAFE_INC and
-Ddefault_inc_excludes_dot)
2) Adds a 'DOT' arg (e.g. -MTestInit=DOT) which unconditionally adds '.';
3) Updates t/TEST so that it (and t/harness which requires t/TEST)
have a whitelist of cpan/ modules which need '.'; test scripts for these
are invoked with -MTestInit=DOT.
4) Removes the $PERL_USE_UNSAFE_INC unsetting in t/TEST and t/harness;
now that environmant variable is passed unchanged to all perl processes
involved in running the test suite.

As of this commit, lots of tests will fail on a dotless perl build; the
next few commits will fix up any tests scripts and non cpan/ distributions
which relied on dot being present.

vec(): defer lvalue out-of-range croaking

RT #131083

Recent commits v5.25.10-81-gd69c430 and v5.25.10-82-g67dd6f3 added
out-of-range/overflow checks for the offset arg of vec().  However in
lvalue context, these croaks now happen before the SVt_PVLV was created,
rather than when its set magic was called. This means that something like

    sub f { $x = $_[0] }
    f(vec($s, -1, 8))

now croaks even though the out-of-range value never ended up getting used
in lvalue context.

This commit fixes things by, in pp_vec(), rather than croaking, just set
flag bits in LvFLAGS() to indicate that the offset is -Ve / out-of-range.

Then in Perl_magic_getvec(), return 0 if these flags are set, and in
Perl_magic_setvec() croak with a suitable error.

fix integer overflows in Perl_do_vecget()/set

RT #130915

In something like

    vec($str, $bignum, 16)

(i.e. where $str is treated as a series of 16-bit words), Perl_do_vecget()
and Perl_do_vecset() end up doing calculations equivalent to:

    $start = $bignum*2;
    $end = $start + 2;

Currently both these calculations can wrap if $bignum is near the maximum
value of a STRLEN (the previous commit already fixed cases for $bignum >
max(STRLEN)).

So this commit makes them check for potential overflow before doing such
calculations.

It also takes account of the fact that the previous commit changed the
type of offset from signed to unsigned.

Finally, it also adds some tests to t/op/vec.t for where the 'word'
overlaps the end of the string, for example

    $x = vec("ab", 0, 64)

should behave the same as:

    $x = vec("ab\0\0\0\0\0\0", 0, 64)

This uses a separate code path, and I couldn't see any tests for it.

This commit is based on an earlier proposed fix by Aaron Crane.

Perl_do_vecget(): change offset arg to STRLEN type

... and fix up its caller, pp_vec().

This is part of a fix for RT #130915.

pp_vec() is responsible for extracting out the offset and size from SVs on
the stack, and then calling do_vecget() with those values. (Sometimes the
call is done indirectly by storing the offset in the LvTARGOFF() field of
a SVt_PVLV, then later Perl_magic_getvec() passes the LvTARGOFF() value to
do_vecget().)

Now SvCUR, SvLEN and LvTARGOFF are all of type STRLEN (a.k.a Size_t),
while the offset arg of do_vecget() is of type SSize_t (i.e. there's a
signed/unsigned mismatch). It makes more sense to make the arg of type
STRLEN. So that is what this commit does.

At the same time this commit fixes up pp_vec() to handle all the
possibilities where the offset value can't fit into a STRLEN, returning 0
or croaking accordingly, so that do_vecget() is never called with a
truncated or wrapped offset.

The next commit will fix up the internals of do_vecget() and do_vecset(),
which have to worry about offset*(2^n) wrapping or being > SvCUR().

This commit is based on an earlier proposed fix by Aaron Crane.

PERL_GLOBAL_STRUCT_PRIVATE: fix PL_isa_DOES

I added the global string constant PL_isa_DOES recently. This caused
t/porting/libperl.t to fail under -DPERL_GLOBAL_STRUCT_PRIVATE builds.

This commit makes PL_isa_DOES be declared and defined in a similar
