PATCH: Clean up EBCDIC handling of \cX
The function perl_ebcdic_control() is unnecessary, as the toCTRL macro
that calls it can be changed to just map EBCDIC to ASCII first, and then
doing the normal procedure.
This means that EBCDIC and ASCII will no longer diverge. Currently,
EBCIDIC gives a syntax error for inputs outside its domain, whereas the
ASCII version accepts some of them.
