PATCH: [perl #119499] "$!" with UTF-8 flag
This disables the code that sets the UTF-8 flag when "$!" is UTF-8.
This is being done to get v5.20 out the door, with changes to follow in
v5.21. See towards the end of the discussion of this ticket.
Unfortunately this change will cause #112208 to no longer be fixed.
