quadmath: handle long doubles supplied via va_args in sv_vcatpvfn_flags()
All of perl's printf() style processing meets up in sv_vcatpvfn_flags()
which had three problems when dealing with long double parameters.
1) both the long double (L and q) and __float128 flags (Q) were
converted to the internal long double flag
2) the internal long double flag was then always treated as a __float128
parameter.
3) the non-Q format string was then passed to my_snprintf(), which
throws an exception on non-Q floating point formats, which meant that
C/XS code printing doubles or long doubles in a quadmath built would
throw an exception.

Eliminate double assignment from @_
In lib/Pod/Html.pm's get_cache(), the arguments from @_ were being read
into the file twice: once assigned to four distinct scalars, once to an
array. That array was in turn fed into an internal subroutine -- which
within itself assigned its elements to four distinct scalars.
sub get_cache {
my($dircache, $podpath, $podroot, $recurse) = @_;
my @cache_key_args = @_;
This approach may have made sense back in 1997 when the code first
entered the core distribution. Some of the four scalars were and are
used within get_cache(), while the array was at that time provided as
argument for two internal subroutines.
This approach, however, is of limited value today. We will likely to
want to bundle up all these lexical variables into a hash or an object
and just pass a single reference to internal subroutines. So let's
eliminate the double assignment and eliminate one variable.

Make 3rd argument to convert_n_test a hash ref
Adapt all tests as needed to revised interface to convert_n_test().
Rationale: convert_n_test is wrapper around pod2html(), which takes a
list of strings each of which is formatted like a command-line switch
(e.g., '--verbose', 'podpath=.'). A string so passed might override a
default value set within convert_n_test(). To be absolutely unambiguous
about what's being passed to pod2html(), we should make sure that a
value is passed to pod2html() only once for a given switch.
This requires a bit of footwork to account for flag switches, but will
facilitate debugging. To get to that point, we revise convert_n_test()
to take a hashref as its third argument.

Start refactoring convert_n_test()
This subroutine is used in Pod-Html's test suite. Currently, it takes a
list of arguments in which:
1: Root of name of test file in t/
2: Test description displayed by harness
3: List of command-line switches for 'pod2html',
some of which may override default values
When debugging a function, it is useful to be able to dump the
function's arguments before we call the function, and to be able to do
so confidently that what we see in the dump is what we pass to the
function.
However, switches in the third position may silently override default
switches defined by convert_n_test. That can make debugging a bit
murky. Let's start by pulling the default switches into a lookup table.

perl5337delta: note that stadtx was removed
fixup Perl_magic_freemglob()
In v5.33.3-24-g02a48966c3 I added the Perl_magic_freemglob() function,
which allowed special-case handling of the pos() magic type to be
removed from S_mg_free_struct().
However, I got it wrong, by more or less copying the same code from
another such function I had just created. So I made
Perl_magic_freemglob() free mg_ptr(), but in the case of pos magic, this
doesn't point to a buffer which needs freeing. In fact its currently
always NULL so attempting to free it is harmless - but this commit
removes the free() for logical soundness and future robustness.
