Log Message:
-----------
varname: wrap the control character variables in braces when needed
varname now returns ${^FOO} instead of $^FOO for control character
variables with a name longer than one character.
Also produces the correct name for control character variables starting
with _ (it previously put in a literal CTRL-_).
The remaining (and unused) control character variables ($^[ $^\ $^] $^^)
are also be printed correctly now.
Fixes GH #24135.
Effort has been made to ensure the check and transformation of the first
character is EBCDIC-compatible.
