overloading: make qr fallback to "" better

With the re_eval jumbo fix, the behaviour of overloaded objects in
runtime patterns, such /^$overloaded/ has changed, such that the stringify
overload ("") no longer avoids the need for 'use re "eval"': for example,

    use overload "" => sub { qr/(??{1})/ }
    my $o = bless [];
    "1" =~ /^$o/;

works in 5.16.0, but dies with "Eval-group not allowed" in blead.

Change this back to the former behaviour, such that if qr and concat
ops aren't overloaded, then use "" overloading, and if the return from
that is a qr object, extract any code blocks from it.

This is achieved by:
* moving the concat/stringify code ahead of the regex block extraction
  code,
* making the overloaded stringify call be explicit (rather than
  being invoked implicitly by sv_catsv()),
* looping to re-apply overloading to any object returned by "".

In cflags.SH trim the case statement of file basenames.

Add examples showing how to use cflags.SH to tweak the compiler flags used
for individual object files.

Previously cflags.SH contained a somewhat stale pre-canned list of file
basenames including removed files such as usersub (deleted before 5.000
shipped), and a partial list of 5.000 XS extensions. Whilst it's possible
to generate the correct list in cflags by parsing MANIFEST (and adding a few
fixups), it's still not actually *useful*, as cflags gets overwritten as
soon as config.sh changes. Hence the most end-user useful solution with
minimal maintenance is to eliminate the list entirely, and document how the
user should add to it as necessary.

David Mitchell [Sat, 16 Jun 2012 12:56:50 +0000 (13:56 +0100)]
fix paren unwinding with CURLYN, CURLYM

Historically, CURLYN and CURLYM didn't restore lastparen ($+) nor
invalidate higher numbered paren slots (reg->offs[n].end = -1)
when backtracking.

Recent commit f6033a9d6c91e0c29d5aa5049361a529b5d7cdc4 fixed the lastparen
issue, but then exposed the offs[n].end issue, which had previously been
masked by the too-high lastparen value causing a previous state (such as a
branch) to conveniently wipe out the offending parens on further
backtracking.

Or to put it another way, each backtracker should be expected to clean up
his own mess, not hope that someone previous to him will do it for him.

Fix this by doing the .end = 1 stuff on CURLYN,M failure as well as
BRANCH/TRIE. For consistency, define a new macro to do it.
