SVf_IsCOW
As discussed in ticket #114820, instead of using READONLY+FAKE to mark a copy-on-write string, we should make it a separate flag. There are many modules in CPAN (and 1 in core, Compress::Raw::Zlib) that assume that SvREADONLY means read-only. Only one CPAN module, POSIX::pselect will definitely be broken by this. Others may need to be tweaked. But I believe this is for the better. It causes all tests except ext/Devel-Peek/t/Peek.t (which needs a tiny tweak still) to pass under PERL_OLD_COPY_ON_WRITE, which is a prereq- uisite for any new COW scheme that creates COWs under the same cir- cumstances.
