Use of strings with code points over 0xFF as arguments to "vec"
Implement scheduled fatalization. Adapt existing tests in t/op/vec.t.
Eliminate t/lib/warnings/doop and move one test to t/op/vec.t.
Document this fatalization in perldiag and perlfunc.
Documentation improvement recommended by Karl Williamson.
For: RT # 134139
