Disable PL_sawampersand
PL_sawampersand actually causes bugs (e.g., perl #4289), because the behaviour changes. eval '$&' after a match will produce different results depending on whether $& was seen before the match. Using copy-on-write for the pre-match copy (preceding patches do that) alleviates the slowdown caused by mentioning $&. The copy doesn’t happen unless the string is modified after the match. It’s now a post- match copy. So we no longer need to do things differently depending on whether $& has been seen. PL_sawampersand is now #defined to be equal to what it would be if every program began with $',$&,$`. I left the PL_sawampersand code in place, in case this commit proves immature. Running Configure with -Accflags=PERL_SAWAMPERSAND will reënable the PL_sawampersand mechanism.
