perl5.13.9 -e 'local *foo; $foo = bless[]; (); DESTROY { use Devel::Peek; Dump $foo; }'

If I do anything with $foo inside the destructor, such as

SvREFCNT_dec(gp->gp_xv) on each of its slots.

SvREFCNT_dec(gp->gp_sv) lowers the refcount of $foo to zero, which
causes the object it references to be destroyed, too. The objects
destructor sees the same $foo still there in the typeglob.

[perl #77692] substr causes panic: sv_len_utf8 cache...

pp_substr contains this comment, which was added in perl 5.0 alpha 2
(commit 79072805bf63):

    PUSHs(TARG); /* avoid SvSETMAGIC here */

Calling set-magic when substr returns an lvalue will cause its argu-
ment to be stringified even if the lvalue is not assigned to. That’s
why set-magic has to be avoided.

But the result is that utf8 caches (stored in magic) on TARG are not
reset properly.

Since substr lvalues now follow a different code path (and do not use
TARG at all), it’s perfectly safe to call set-magic at this point.
It’s also the right thing to do in case of other types of magic that
might get attached to TARG.

Fix up \cX for 5.14

Throughout 5.13 there was temporary code to deprecate and forbid
certain values of X following a \c in qq strings.  This patch fixes
this to the final 5.14 semantics.

These are:

1) a utf8 non-ASCII character will croak.  This is the same
behavior as pre-5.13, but it gives a correct error message, rather than
the malformed utf8 message previously.

2) \c{ and \cX where X is above ASCII will generate a deprecated
message.  The intent is to remove these capabilities in 5.16.  The
original agreement was to croak on above ASCII, but that does violate
our stability policy, so I'm deprecating it instead.

3) A non-deprecated warning is generated for all other \cX; this is the
same as throughout the 5.13 series.

I did not have the tuits to use \c{} as I had planned in 5.14, but \N{}
can be used instead.
