pp_hot.c - fix branch reset matches in list context
I am kinda surprised this issue was not picked up by one of our
other test files. I would have expected one of the t/re/regexp.t
based patches to validate list context matches populating the list
properly. But apparently not! So when I fixed branch reset in
fe5492d916201ce31a107839a36bcb1435fe7bf0 I missed the list context
logic. This fixes the oversight. Thanks to Andreas Koenig for the
BBC report on this.
This also changes the code to use SSize_t for various length related
operations, the original code was using I32 which might break on
very very long strings. Thanks to Tony C for pointing that out.
