Amend tests to adapt to more accurate line number reporting in core#1080

Conversation
Early in the next development cycle of the perl interpreter, an attempt will be made to improve the inaccuracy of line number reporting by warnings/error and caller(), starting with: Perl/perl5#24387 - starting statement in elsif() blocks Perl/perl5#24389 - loop condition statements Perl/perl5#24396 - mid-statement anon sub declarations These changes break assorted tests in this module that expect specific line numbers to be emitted. This commit should ensure that the affected tests succeed regardless of whether the perl version in use demonstrates the older, buggier behaviour or the behaviour once the above pull requests are merged. (This would also reduce churn if those PRs are merged and present in some tagged releases, but then later reverted.)
