Lazily create singletons on instance_{exec,eval} (#5146)
* Lazily create singletons on instance_{exec,eval}

Previously when instance_exec or instance_eval was called on an object,
that object would be given a singleton class so that method
definitions inside the block would be added to the object rather than
its class.

This commit aims to improve performance by delaying the creation of the
singleton class unless/until one is needed for method definition. Most
of the time instance_eval is used without any method definition.

This was implemented by adding a flag to the cref indicating that it
represents a singleton of the object rather than a class itself. In this
case CREF_CLASS returns the object's existing class, but in cases that
we are defining a method (either via definemethod or
VM_SPECIAL_OBJECT_CBASE which is used for undef and alias).

This also happens to fix what I believe is a bug. Previously
instance_eval behaved differently with regards to constant access for
true/false/nil than for all other objects. I don't think this was
intentional.

    String::Foo = "foo"
    "".instance_eval("Foo")   # => "foo"
    Integer::Foo = "foo"
    123.instance_eval("Foo")  # => "foo"
    TrueClass::Foo = "foo"
    true.instance_eval("Foo") # NameError: uninitialized constant Foo

This also slightly changes the error message when trying to define a method
through instance_eval on an object which can't have a singleton class.

Before:

    $ ruby -e '123.instance_eval { def foo; end }'
    -e:1:in `block in <main>': no class/module to add method (TypeError)

After:

    $ ./ruby -e '123.instance_eval { def foo; end }'
    -e:1:in `block in <main>': can't define singleton (TypeError)

IMO this error is a small improvement on the original and better matches
the (both old and new) message when definging a method using `def self.`

    $ ruby -e '123.instance_eval{ def self.foo; end }'
    -e:1:in `block in <main>': can't define singleton (TypeError)
