To allow future commits to use more varieties of CopFILE* macros around core, remove core usage of OutCopFILE. OutCopFILE can't be outright removed as CPAN grep shows some usage without a #ifndef OutCopFILE fallback.

Remove the cpu instruction overhead of pushing the flags arg in the callers of gv_fetchfile_flags by changing it to a macro that drops out the flags argument. Only known callers are NYTProf and core's gv_fetchfile according to cpan grep. This commits sets up future refactoring of gv_fetchfile*.
