-Dmad minitest failure bisect

Smokes with -Dmad have been failing during make minitest since the
middle of last month.

git bisect with script:

git clean -xfd
./Configure -Dmad -Dusedevel -des && make miniperl && ./miniperl -Ilib t/base/lex.t || exit 1
exit 0

lexer API

Attached is a patch that adds a public API for the lowest layers of
lexing. This is meant to provide a solid foundation for the parsing that
Devel::Declare and similar modules do, and it complements the pluggable
keyword mechanism. The API consists of some existing variables combined
with some new functions, all marked as experimental (which making them
public certainly is).

Urr, the middle of this month.

Mostly fixed by the attached patch. The fault is a logic error on my
part, probably from the early phase of developing the lexer API patch,
when I didn't properly understand the various buffer pointer variables.

In my tests with -Dmad, I'm still getting a test failure ("panic: input
overflow") from t/op/incfilter.t. The underlying problem is the filter
layer mishandling things when a filter function gives it a multiline
string, so it generates an invalid SV state (strlen(SvPVX(PL_linestr))
> SvCUR(PL_linestr)). This faulty state also occurs without -Dmad,
and so doesn't appear to be Mad-related, it just doesn't in practice
cause the test panic without -Dmad. I'm investigating this bug now.

It's fixed by the attached patch. Since the bug is an inconsistency
in the SV data structure, it can't be sensibly tested from Perl code,
so I'm at a loss for writing a test script. Hopefully that panic with
-Dmad is sufficient.
