faster add, subtract, multiply

In pp_add, pp_subtract and pp_multiply, special-case the following:

* both args IV, neither arg large enough to under/overflow
* both args NV.

Starting in 5.8.0, the implementation of the arithmetic pp functions
became a lot more complex (and famously, much slower), due to the need
to support 64-bit integers.

For example, formerly  pp_add just converted both its args to an NV and
returned an NV. On 64-bit systems, that could gave bad results if the
mantissa of an NV was < 64 bits; for example:

    $ perl561 -e'$x = 0x1000000000000000; printf "%x\n", $x+1'
    1000000000000000
    $ perl580 -e'$x = 0x1000000000000000; printf "%x\n", $x+1'
    1000000000000001

This led to a lot of complex code that covered all the possibilities
of overflow etc.

This commit adds some special casing to these three common arithmetic ops.
It does some quick checks (mainly involving fast boolean and bit ops)
to determine if both args are valid IVs (and not UVs), are not magic,
and aren't very big (+ve or -ve). In this case, the result is simply
SvIVX(svl) + SvIVX(svr) (or - or *) with no possibility of overflow.
Failing that, if both args are NV's and not magic, then if both NVs
can be converted to IVs without loss, handle as for the IV case; failing
that, just return SvNVX(svl) + SvNVX(svr);

For all other cases, such as mixed IV and NV or PV, fall back to the old
code.

On my platform (x86_64), it (along with the previous commit) reduces the
execution time of the nbody benchmark (lots of floating-point vector
arithmetic) by a third and in fact makes it 10% faster than 5.6.1.

make SETi/u/n, (X)PUSHi/u/n more efficient

These macros are used by many pp functions to set TARG to an int or float
value and put it on the stack. The macros use a call to sv_setiv()
or similar.

However, there is a good chance that the target is ether a lexical var
or a PADTMP that has been assigned just an IV/NV in the past, in which
case its body is likely to still be of type SVt_IV/SVt_NV. If this is
the case, we can set its value much more efficiently.

Update those setting macros to first check if the target has a simple
body, and if so, set directly.

This makes quite a significant performance difference on code that does
a lot of arithmetic, at the cost of a larger binary (0.36% on my Linux
x86_64 system).

It also allows you (at compile time) to skip testing for taint if you
know that the value can't be tainted (e.g. pp_add() when both args are
non-magical and so can't have taint magic attached). The next commit will
make use of this.
