optimise save/restore of PL_delaymagic.
A few places (pp_push, pp_unshift, pp_aassign) have to set PL_delaymagic on entry, and restore it on exit. These are hot pieces of code. Rather than using ENTER/SAVEI16(PL_delaymagic)/LEAVE, add an extra field to the jumpenv struct, and make the JUMPENV_PUSH / POP macros automatically save and restore this var. This means that pp_push etc only need to do a local save: U16 old_delaymagic = PL_delaymagic; PL_delaymagic = DM_DELAY; .... PL_delaymagic = old_delaymagic; and in case of an exception being raised, PL_delaymagic still gets restored. This transfers the cost of saving PL_delaymagic from each call to pp_aassign etc to each time a new run level is invoked. The latter should be much less frequent. Note that prior to this commit, pp_aassign wasn't actually saving and restoring PL_delaymagic; it was just setting it to 0 at the end. So this commit also makes pp_aassign safe against PL_delaymagic re-entrancy like pp_push and pp_unshift already were.
