[perl #88486] IO::File does not always export SEEK*
Commit d963bf0 made perl set @IO::File::ISA automagically.
Commit 15e6cdd made filehandle methods load IO::File automagically.
Commit efc5c7c attempted to solve the problem that having IO::Handle
loaded causes IO::File to be bypassed, rendering 15e6cdd only
semi-effective (see [perl #87940]), by requiring IO::File inside
IO::Handle.
That commit ended up breaking several CPAN modules, because IO::File
adds @IO::Seekable::EXPORT to its own exports.
If IO::Seekable is loaded first (before IO::File), before setting up
its @EXPORT it loads IO::Handle, which loads IO::File, which tries to
load IO::Seekable, which is in %INC already, and which is hence wait-
ing for IO::File to load before it sets its own @EXPORT. So IO::File
sees @IO::Seekable::EXPORT empty.
Hence, every piece of code that tries to import SEEK_END from IO::File
will simply not get it if IO::Seekable is already loaded (explicitly
or, e.g., by File::Temp).
This commit hopefully fixes the breakage and the problem that efc5c7c
attempted to fix by loading IO::File only inside IO::Handle::new (the
only method that IO::File overrides).
