GH19478: applying taint is no reason to mess with pos
25fdce4a16 introduced a chunk in sv_magic() to "force pos to be stored
as characters, not bytes" whenever any magic was applied to a string
marked UTF8.
It is not clear why a random call to sv_magic(), eg to mark a string as
tainted, needs to do this - it would seem more logical for the check to
happen either earlier (when the string first qualifies as SvMAGICAL(sv)
&& DO_UTF8(sv)) or later (eg on mg_find).
Experimentally remove this block - it appears to cause no test failures,
and allows the new test cases to pass.
