op.c - Restrict nested eval/BEGIN blocks to a user controllable maximum
Nested BEGIN blocks can cause us to segfault by exhausting the C stack. Eg: perl -le'sub f { eval "BEGIN { f() }" } f()' will segfault. This adds a new interpreter var PL_eval_begin_nest_depth to keep track of how many layer of eval/BEGIN we have seen, and a new reserved variable called ${^MAX_NESTED_EVAL_BEGIN_BLOCKS} which can be used to raise or lower the limit. When set to 0 it blocks BEGIN entirely, which might be useful from time to time. This fixes https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/20176
