add failing test for #4866

the reason this issue wasn't being detected is that calling WHY on the declarand fixes the Pod link back to the declarand. Add an earlier check on $=pod, which exposes the issue.		 00:05

Update the meta info of the core (#4856)

  - in Compiler, auth to Yet Another Society, the official name of TPF
  - in install-core-dist.raku, use the info from Compiler
Mostly because it felt better to have the info in the META match what is in Compiler, and to be more specific in Compiler now that there is no Perl in the name anymore.		 07:40

Fix unneeded dependency check (#4901)

Commit 199888abedfe843996 in March 2020 borked the setting of the repo-id. This caused unneeded dependency checking for installed modules, and a slowdown of e.g. loading NativeCall of about 80 msecs.
Now, the slowdown will only occur the first time after installation, when the repo-id is now updated correctly so that a subsequent loading will not have to do dependency checks.

Reinstate CATCH versus LEAVE

Alhough the code with LEAVE is much simpler and clearer, it *does* impose the overhead of having to execute a phaser on the most common execution path. And since both a CATCH block or a LEAVE phaser will inhibit inlining of a block, from a performance point of view a CATCH is better, as that will only be executed when something actually goes wrong (which hopefully is not the most common execution path).		 07:46

Put CATCH blocks at the start of the scope

CATCH blocks affect the **entire** scope they're in. So they should be as close to the start of the scope they're in, so that you realize that they can fire well before you think they'd might fire.
This did not change the Rakudo::Internals::JSON class, as that is being kept in sync with JSON::Fast.		 08:06

Add CUR::Staging.candidates method

The candidates should *also* take into account any candidates from the CURI repository it is shadowing. Spotted by ugexe++
Also add :replace attribute to CURS. When specified, the CURS will completely replace the parent CURI in both the registration by name, as well as in the $*REPO chain. Calling .self-destruct will restore the original CURI by name and in the $*REPO chain.		 08:14

Introduce (Exception|Cool).Failure coercer

The main reason for this, is to reduce the bytecode of scopes where a Failure needs to be returned. This reduces the bytecode by 12 bytes for every change from "Failure.new(foo)" to "foo.Failure", making these scopes more likely to get inlined.

bartolin just saw test failures in S32-num/stress.t ("Numeric underflow" after 1500 of 3500 tests) 19:32
lizmat confirmed 19:37
bartolin that seems to be from github.com/rakudo/rakudo/commit/6f6fd1f76f 19:40
lizmat test 2 dies, but oddly enough. if you take out test #1 it passed
lizmat builds 19:41
indeed, with that commit reverted, the test passes 19:43
MasterDuke huh (also, it should now use the new .Failure on the exception) 19:45
what is the problematic value? 19:46
lizmat not sure... if you reverse the test, the test passes, so I don't think it's that cut and clear
lizmat goes afk& 19:47
bartolin m: say -10**(2*-10) 19:52
camelia -1e-20
bartolin If I'm not mistaken that's where current HEAD gives a "Numeric overflow" 19:54
-10**(-19) works, but -10**(-20) blows up. -10**(-20.1) works, though 20:00
(but scratch the last part, that's a different multi sub) 20:05
MasterDuke hm. wonder why i thought UINT64_UPPER was the limit where underflow was going to happen 20:07
m: say -10**(-323) 20:10
camelia -1e-323
MasterDuke m: say -10**(-324)
camelia Numeric underflow
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
MasterDuke afk for a bit, might not be able to get back to this until tomorrow. bartolin++ for the spot 20:11
