PL_defoutgv isn't always a GV.
Nasty code like the following results in PL_defoutgv not pointing
to a valid GV:
my $x = *STDERR; select($x); $x = 1;
This causes all sorts of SEGVs when PL_defoutgv is subsequently accessed,
because most code assumes that it has a valid gv_gp pointer. It also
turns out that PL_defoutgv is under-tested; for example, temporarily
hacking pp_close to make an arg-less close() croak didn't cause any
minitest failures.
Add a new test file that does some basic testing of a bad PL_defoutgv,
and fix all the obvious badness in accessing it.
This also fixes #20727, which although ostensibly a tie bug, was due to
PL_defoutgv pointing to a tiedelem scalar, and fun like that described
above happening.
