[PATCH] Fixed bug where is_core assumed linear release sequence

If you specified a version of the module, is_core has to track through
releases, as the %delta data structure only records where a module
version number changes in core, not every module version number in every release.
I was naively trawling the releases in numerical order, but %delta includes
information that let's you construct the release tree.

This fix only traverses the branch of the overall release tree that leads
to the specified Perl release. Further explanation and example in blog post:

Removed the define for FCALL

This is a leftover from the PERL_OBJECT days; These days it was only
used on one spot and did nothing useful.
perl.h: STMT_START/END don't need a special case for suncc anymore
perl.h: Comment was mistakenly passed to the preprocessor

This was a typo introduced in 27da23d5
Consistently use __sun to identify SunOS

The core mostly used __sun already, but '__sun__' and 'sun' were
also present.
regcomp.c: Convert another I32 to SSize_t

This code is normally #ifdef'd out, and so was missed in the earlier
conversions, commit ed56dbcb51c55e631d5f4931f88efe008e5349c4.
perlreguts.pod: Nits
perlreguts: Bring up-to-date

Various changes have been made to regcomp.c that didn't make it into
perlreguts until now.
regcomp.c: Centralize assignment

It's better to do something in one common place than two.  This properly
initializes the regex opcode for the synthetic start class when it is
created, rather than at the end where the code has to be repeated to get
all instances.
regcomp.c: Remove redundant matching possibilities

The flag ANYOF_UNICODE_ALL is for performance.  It is set when the
inversion list for the ANYOF node includes every code point above
Latin1, and avoids runtime searching through the list.  We don't need
both, as the flag being set short-circuits even looking at the other
list.  By removing the code points from the list, we perhaps will get
rid of the list entirely, thus saving some operations, or will shorten
it so that later binary searches run faster.
regcomp.c: Extract code into separate function

This is in preparation for it to be called from more than one place, in
a future commit.
Add inversion list for U+80 - U+FF

This is the upper half of the Latin1 range.  This simplifies some code
very slightly, but will be of use in future commits.
regcomp.c: Move a #define, add a similar one

Future commits will use this #define (and the new one) earlier in the
file than currently defined.
Add regnode struct for synthetic start class

As part of extending the regular expression optimizer to properly handle
above Latin1 code points, I need an inversion list to contain which code
points the synthetic start class (ssc) matches.

The ssc currently is the same as a locale-aware ANYOF node, which uses
the struct of a regular ANYOF node, plus some extra fields at the end.

This commit creates a new typedef for ssc use, which is the locale-aware
ANYOF node, plus an extra SV* at the end to hold the inversion list.
regcomp.c: Use PL_sv_undef instead of NULL in an AV

The NULL gets turned into an SVt_NULL anyway.  This array is read only
by S_core_regclass_swash() in regexec.c.  That uses an SvROK, so it
doesn't have to change.

This commit also beefs up the comments around this operation
regcomp.c: Extract code into separate function

A future commit will use this functionality from a second place.  For
now, just cut and paste, and do the minimal ancillary work to get it to
compile and pass.
regcomp.c: Rework static function call; comments

The previous commit just extracted out code into a function.  This
commit renames a parameter for clarity, combines two parameters to make
the interface cleaner, and adds and moves comments around.
regcomp.c: Change names of some static functions

The term 'class' is very overloaded in regex code and documentation.
perlrecharclass.pod calls the dot (matching any char) a class, and
calls the [] form "bracketed character classes".  There are other
meanings as well.  This is the first commit in a short series that
removes some of those overloadings.

One instance of class is the "synthetic start class", generated by the
regex optimizer to be a list of all the code points a sucessful match
could possibly start with.  This is useful in more quickly finding where
to start looking in matching against a target string.  Prior to this
commit, the routines that referred to this began with 'cl_', and the
formal parameters were 'cl', which could mean any class.  This commit
changes those instances of 'cl' to 'ssc' to indicate this is the only
type of class that is being handled.
