Fix assertion failure with $#a=\1
If the array has been freed and a reference is then assigned to the arylen scalar and then get-magic is called on that scalar, Perl_magic_getarylen misbehaves. SvOK_off is not sufficient if arbitrary values can be assigned by Perl code. Globs, refs and regexps (among others) need special handling, which sv_setsv knows how to do.
