regen/embed.pl - change _aDEPTH and _pDEPTH to not have a leading underbar
The leading underbar is reserved by C. These defines are debugging only "recursion" depth related counters injected into the function macro wrappers when a function is marked as 'W', much the same way that aTHX_ and pTHX_ are when building under threaded builds. The functions are expected to incremented the depth parameter themselves. Note that "recursion" is quoted above because in practice currently they are only used by the regex engine when recursing virtually, and they do not relate to true C stack related recursion. (But they could be used for tracking C level recursion under debugging if someone needed it.)
