Re: waiting for sub body

rgs pointed out to me that attribute handlers being applied to a temporary
CV has actually been reported as a bug, #66970.  The attached patch fixes
the bug, by changing the order in which things happen: attributes are
now applied after the temporary CV has been merged into the existing CV
or has otherwise been added to the appropriate GV.

The change breaks part of Attribute::Handlers.  Part of A:H searches
the package to find the name of the sub to which a :ATTR attribute
is being applied, and the correct time at which to launch that search
depends crucially on the order in which the CV construction events occur.
So this patch also includes a change to A:H, to make it detect which way
things happen.  The resulting A:H works either way, which is essential
for its dual-life nature.

Along the way I discovered a manifestation of bug#66970 with A:H:

$ perl -MAttribute::Handlers -lwe 'sub A0; sub A0 :ATTR(CODE) { print "a0" } sub t0 :A0 {123}'
