regen/ebcdic.pl: Output tables in hex

When dealing with code points, it is easier to use the hex values.  This
outputs the tables in hex, squeezing them so they barely fit in an 80
column window.  That they didn't use to so fit was why they were not
output in hex prior to this commit.

The UTF8SKIP table is continued to be output in decimal, as the values
aren't code points.

should test if the desired locale category is available, and return TRUE
if so, regardless of LC_CTYPE's presence.  Now it may be that all

op_free(): don't assert op_private ok when erred

[perl #126258]

op_free includes an assert to make sure each op's op_private field
only has the flags set that are expected for that op. It's a thing I added
at the same time I added the regen/op_private mechanism, and is more a
general "make sure people are only setting the flags we know about" test.

However, if the op tree is being freed after a compilation error, some
op's flags may be in an inconsistent state; so skip the assert in that case.

    features which I hope they're excited about and start making use of,
    but then find bugs in those features and have to wait until 5.X+2.0,
    rather than 5.X.1, for fixes.

rjbs++ clarified that, although such changes constitute a break in backwards
compatibility, there are two reasons why bugs in new features should be
fixed in maint:

    * they delay people from using a feature for a year, because it does
      something stupid

Prior to v5.23.4-100-g20e9643, pp_postinc() etc checked whether the SV was
an AV, non-fake GV, or any other such non-modifiable thinngy; and if so,
called Perl_croak_no_modify(). That commit of mine removed the check, and
instead relied on the underlying sv_inc_nomg() function (called by
pp_postinc()) to do the checking instead. It turns out that while
sv_inc_nomg() etc does some checks, it wasn't as thorough as pp_postinc().
So something like

    my $y = $_++ for *FOO;

now crashes with an assertion failure in sv_inc_nomg() rather than
croaking.

This commit adds such checks to sv_inc_nomg() and sv_dec_nomg() - which
need them anyway, since they may be called from places other than
pp_postinc() etc.
