Attached patch reinstates VDf in blead perl to implement the %vd format, which is still used in XS code and will reappear in blead for read-only version numbers.
I have taken the opportunity to tidy up the code for the %p hacks that
are used to proved SVf (was %_) and VDf. The format processing code
does an initial pass for %p "extensions" and then resumes the previous
processing. I have also added some comments to describe the use of %p.
