Several tests fail with the CGP runcore (parrot -C) when multidispatch 
re-enters bytecode -- in specific, anything that calls into src/pic.c from 
Parrot_pcc_invoke_sub_from_sig_object causes failures.

The problem appears to be that CGP's PIC tries to poke into the bytecode 
directly to find get_params and similar opcodes, while parameter-passing 
information is in a context after Parrot_pcc_invoke_sub_from_sig_object.

One workaround is to enforce the use of the normal runcore only for calls back 
into Parrot from Parrot_pcc_invoke_sub_from_sig_object, but that's just a 
workaround.  A better solution is to fix the PIC code to look in the 
appropriate place in the context for return values.  That seems like a good 
task for the calling conventions branch.
