-----------
Fix a leak when copying a STATIC COW SV to a stringified SV.
commit 914bb57489325d34:
Define a third kind of COW state; STATIC
...
sv_setsv_flags() and sv_setsv_cow() will preserve this state
There was a minor bug in the copy code - it didn't handle the case where
the destination SV owned a string buffer already. This is actually
relatively rare - triggering it requires a scalar in code path that is
assigned both strings and booleans. Minimal test case is:
my $got = 1;
$got .= "";
$got = ref "";
cut down from &is in t/comp/parser.t
