Fix a Deparse bug - constants and PCSs were appearing as subroutine stubs.
(Because constants and other Proxy Constant Subroutines are stored in the
symbol table as references, and in 5.11.0 RVs merged with IVs, and B::Deparse
knows that an IV in the symbol table is a stub declaration for a subroutine
with no prototype, so B::Deparse "knew" that that's what it was.)

Perl_newHVhv() should copy immortal values as-is, such as PL_sv_undef
Currently it calls newSVsv() always, which copies the value, but the immortal
SVs are used as much for their addresses as their values. You can't get the
immortals into HVs from Perl-space, except for PL_sv_placeholder, and any hash
with those will take the else block, where the call to Perl_hv_iternext_flags()
won't be returning placeholders anyway. Hence If XS code has gone to the
trouble to get the "impossible" in there, they had a reason for it.
I am assuming that Perl_hv_copy_hints_hv() should stay as-is, as it is
documented that only strings and integers are supported values for %^H.

Flush the MRO cache at the end, rather than the start.

On Windows normalize $^X using GetLongPathName()
If perl.exe is called with a short pathname, then GetModuleFileName()
will return this short name, and $^X will be set to it. This in turn
is used to initialize @INC to privlib, sitelib and vendorlib locations
relative to $^X, so they too will end up with the mangled short names.
Perl will also automatically add versioned Perl directories in the
same tree if their names start with the same major and minor Perl
version numbers. This heuristic can be broken when the pathname
components are using short pathnames. Therefore $^X and @INC should
all be normalized to use the long pathname format.
