update const sub docs for stuff that now croaks
GH #19664
Some types of constant sub candidates emitted deprecation warnings
from 5.22 onwards, and croaked from 5.32 onwards. The perlsub docs knew
about the warnings; this commit updates them for the croaks.
At the same time, change the code examples to no longer use the RT
ticket number of the original issue. For one thing, RT numbers are
obsolete, and for another, it was being too cute - setting a variable to
one less than the RT number, then showing that the constant value
hadn't been incremented by the $x++. And using the number for the sub
names. The examples just became noisy with random 5-digit numbers
everywhere.
