Stop padlists from being AVs
In order to fix a bug, I need to add new fields to padlists. But I
cannot easily do that as long as they are AVs.
So I have created a new padlist struct.
This not only allows me to extend the padlist struct with new members
as necessary, but also saves memory, as we now have a three-pointer
struct where before we had a whole SV head (3-4 pointers) + XPVAV (5
pointers).
This will unfortunately break half of CPAN, but the pad API docs
clearly say this:
NOTE: this function is experimental and may change or be
removed without notice.
This would have broken B::Debug, but a patch sent upstream has already
been integrated into blead with commit 9d2d23d981.
