(perl #131746) avoid undefined behaviour in Copy() etc
These functions depend on C library functions which have undefined behaviour when passed NULL pointers, even when passed a zero 'n' value. Some compilers use this information, ie. assume the pointers are non-NULL when optimizing any following code, so we do need to prevent such unguarded calls. My initial thought was to add conditionals to each macro to skip the call to the library function when n is zero, but this adds a cost to every use of these macros, even when the n value is always true. So instead I added asserts() which will give us a much more visible indicator of such broken code and revealed the pp_caller and Glob.xs issues also patched here.
