Subject: [PATCH] Explicitly return a string SV from Wx::InputStream::READLINE

Perl 5.35.9 changed SV integer / string handling slightly, resulting in
the return value from READLINE() to evaluate as false regardless of its
string contents, because it is initially created as the integer 0 and no
longer gets marked as a valid string. This broke the Wx-Perl-ProcessStream
distribution test suite.

Fix the regression by explicitly setting SvPOK on the return value,
mirroring the sibling READ() method.
