Fixes to allow win32 Perl to properly handle PERL5LIB.

On Windows Vista, 7 and 2008, the win32 API call
GetEnvironmentVariableA() does not return environment values
with string length of greater than 32766, even though
such variables are supported in the environment.

This consequently caused @INC not to be populated for
such values of PERL5LIB on those OSes, as reported in
RT #87322.

This commit reworks the code so that GetEnvironmentStrings()
is called if GetEnvironmentVariableA() indicates the requested
value is set in the environmtn.  The old fallback of consulting
the registry for variables beginning with "PERL" is retained, but
as a last-ditch fallback rather than the only recourse.

A new test file, t/win32/runenv.t has been added to validate
that the new behavior is working properly, as well as that
general environment variable handling is in accordance with
expectations, since t/run/runenv.t does not run on Win* platforms.
The new test file is essentially a non-forking clone of
t/run/runenv.t, with modifications to test cases to run properly
on Win* platforms, and with a new test case to test the new behavior.

Perl_rpeep: undo tail recursion optimisation

commit 3c78429c102e0fe2ad30c60dfe52636b6071ef19 reduced the depth
of recursion in rpeep(), by deferring recursion into branches until a bit
later (so that the recursive call to rpeep was then likely to be shallow).
However, it went one step further: when the chain of op_next's had been
exhausted in the main loop, it processed any remaining deferrred branches
in the main loop rather than recursing. All nice and efficient, but it
broke the expectation that someone who had hooked into rpeep could follow
the chain of op_nexts in each call and visit *all* ops.

This commit removes that optimisation and restores the rpeep hook
expectancy. This shouldn't have any major effect on the depth of
recursion, and its minor inefficiency doesn't really matter for a
one-time compilation-time pass.

re_eval: clear lexicals in the right pad

(?{...}) deliberately doesn't introduce a new scope (so that the affects of
local() can accumulate across multiple calls to the code). This also means
that the SAVEt_CLEARSVs pushed onto the save stack by lexical declarations
(i.e. (?{ my $x; ... }) also accumulate, and are only processed en-mass at
the end, on exit from the regex. Currently they are usually processed in
the wrong pad (the caller of the pattern, rather than the pads of the
individual code block(s)), leading to random misbehaviour and SEGVs.

Hence the long-standing advice to avoid lexical declarations within
re_evals.

We fix this by wrapping a pair of SAVECOMPPADs around each call to a code
block. Eventually the save stack will be a long accumulation of
SAVEt_CLEARSV's interspersed with SAVEt_COMPPAD's, that when popped
en-mass should unwind in the right order with the right pad at the right
time.

The price to pay for this is two extra additions to the save stack (which
accumulate) for each code call.

A few TODO tests in reg_eval_scope.t now pass, so I'm probably doing the
right thing ;-)

If there is a public macro (PUSHSUB) that contains a call to a pri-
vate function (was_lvalue_sub), that function has to be exported, so
that non-core code can call it.  But if it is marked X, there is no
was_lvalue_sub shorthand macro visible to non-core code, so when the
PUSHSUB macro is expanded in such code, the was_lvalue_sub(...) bit
becomes a call to the function literally named was_lvalue_sub, as
opposed to Perl_lvalue_sub (and is compiled that way on forgiving
platforms).  Making it A makes that macro available to non-core code,
but also implies that it is available for direct use by extensions,
which is not the case with was_lvalue_sub.

So, this commit makes it X again, but spells it out in PUSHSUB, so
there is no need for the function’s macro to be available when
PUSHSUB is expanded.

Hence, there is no need for the was_lvalue_sub macro to exist, so this
commit also removes it.
