Fix =~ $str_overloaded (5.10 regression)

In 5.8.x, this code:

  use overload '""'=>sub { warn "stringify"; --$| ? "gonzo" : chr 256 };
  my $obj = bless\do{my $x};
  warn "$obj";
  print "match\n" if chr(256) =~ $obj;

prints

  stringify at - line 1.
  gonzo at - line 3.
  stringify at - line 1.
  match

which is to be expected.

In 5.10+, the stringification happens one extra time, causing a failed match:

  stringify at - line 1.
  gonzo at - line 3.
  stringify at - line 1.
  stringify at - line 1.

This logic in pp_regcomp is faulty:

	    if (DO_UTF8(tmpstr)) {
		assert (SvUTF8(tmpstr));
	    } else if (SvUTF8(tmpstr)) {
		... copy under ‘use bytes’...
	    }
	    else if (SvAMAGIC(tmpstr)) {
		/* make a copy to avoid extra stringifies */
		tmpstr = newSVpvn_flags(t, len, SVs_TEMP | SvUTF8(tmpstr));
	    }

The SvAMAGIC check never happens when the UTF8 flag is on.
