1354 Comment to record why we can't clear placeholders in hsplit
1355
1356 [ 22391]
1357 My re-implementation of hv_clear_placeholders was buggy - not sure why
1358 the tests still passed. Fixed.
1359
1360 [ 22393]
1361 In hsplit, if a normal hash has placeholders then clear them before
1362 splitting. We can do this safely because Storable ensures hsplit is
1363 not called while it builds restricted hashes (actually any hashes)
1364 This change may not make things faster, but now we have the choice.

1453 Work on eliminating systematic failures on make minitest:
1454 make minitest passes a -minitest flag to t/TEST
1455 t/TEST sees this and sets $ENV{PERL_CORE_MINITEST}
1456 Tests can choose to skip based on this.
1457 (Other tactic is to make loading of Errno by %! happen at run time.)
