don't segfault given string repeat count larger than 2^31
E.g., this overflows INT_MAX and overruns heap memory: $ perl -le 'print "v"x(2**31+1)' [Exit 139 (SEGV)] (Perl_repeatcpy): Use the same type for "count" as our sole callers in pp.c: IV (long), not I32 (int). Otherwise, passing the wider value to a narrower "I32 count"
