Missing av_top_index in Devel::PPPort

[p5pRT]

Migrated from rt.perl.org#133278 (status was 'resolved')

Searchable as RT133278$

From rehsack@gmail.com

perlapi reports AvFILL is deprecated and encourages using of av_top_index() instead.
Unfortunately av_top_index has been introduced with 5.18 - ideally ppport.h supports a fallback for older Perls.

See https://travis-ci.org/perl5-utils/List-MoreUtils-XS/builds/391774513 for the failures (with up-to-date ppport.h)
The 5.18 failure comes from unfortunate recover from RT#123868/RT#96343 (cpan) and needs rework from author (me).

Best regards

AvFILL() shouldn't deprecated, maybe discouraged, but not deprecated.

I changed perlapi to not say that this was deprecated (it isn't) in commit
d29fa84

Still working on Devel​::PPPort
