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.
