Revert: Restrict code points to <= IV_MAX

This reverts the two related commits
51099b64db323d0e1d871837f619d72bea8ca2f9  (partially)
13f4dd346e6f3b61534a20f246de3a80b3feb743  (entirely)

I was in the middle of a long branch dealing with this and related
issues when these were pushed to blead.  It was far easier for me to
revert these at the beginning of my branch than to try to rebase
unreverted.  And there are changes needed to the approaches taken in the
reverted commits.  A third related commit,
113b8661ce6d987db4dd217e2f90cbb983ce5d00, doesn't cause problems so
isn't reverted.

I reverted the second commit, then the first one, and squashed them
together into this one.  No other changes were done in this commit.
The reason for the squashing is to avoid problems when bisecting on a
32-bit machine.  If the bisect landed between the commits, it could show
failures.  The portion of the first commit that wasn't reverted was the
part that was rendered moot because of the changes in the meantime that
forbid bitwise operations on strings containing code points above
Latin1.

The next commit in this series will reinstate portions of these commits.
I reverted as much as possible here to make this reversion commit
cleaner.

The biggest problem with these commits, is that some Perl applications
are made vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks.  I do believe it is ok
to croak when a program tries, for example, to do chr() of too large a
number, which is what the reverted commit does (and what this branch
will eventually reinstate doing).  But when parsing UTF-8, you can't
just die if you find something too large.  That would be an easy DOS on
any program, such as a web server, that gets its UTF-8 from the public.
Perl already has a means to deal with too-large code points (before
5.26, this was those code points that overflow the word size), and web
servers should have already been written in such a way as to deal with
these.  This branch just adapts the code so that anything above IV_MAX
is considered to be overflowing.  Web servers should not have to change
as a result.

A second issue is that one of the reasons we did the original
deprecation is so that we can use the forbidden code points internally
ourselves, such as Perl 6 does to store Grapheme Normal Form.  The
implementation should not burn bridges, but allow that use to easily
happen when the time comes.  For that reason, some tests should not be
deleted, but commented out, so they can be quickly adapted.

While working on this branch, I found several unlikely-to-occur bugs in
the existing code.  These should be fixed now in the code that handles
up to UV_MAX code points, so that when we do allow internal use of such,
the bugs are already gone.

I also had researched the tests that fail as a result of the IV_MAX
restriction.  Some of the test changes in these reverted commits were
inappropriate.

For example, some tests that got changed were for bugs that happen only
on code points that are now illegal on 32-bit builds.  Lowering the code
point in the test to a legal value, as was done in some instances,  no
longer tests for the original bug.  Instead, where I found this, I just
skip the test on 32-bit platforms.

Other tests were simply deleted, where a lower code point would have
worked, and the test is useful with a lower code point.  I retain such
tests, using a lower code point.  In some cases, it was probably ok to
delete the tests on 32-bit platforms, as something was retained for a
64-bit one, but since I had already done the adaptive work, I retain
that.

And still other tests were from files that I extensively revamp, so I
went with the revamp.

The following few commits fix those as far as possible now.  This is so
that the reversion of the tests and my changes are close together in the
final commit series.  Some changes have to wait to later, as for those
where the entire test files are revamped, or when the deprecation
messages finally go away in the final commit of this series.

In cases where the message wording I was contemplating using conflicts
with the reverted commits, I change mine to use that of the reverted
commits.
