  [pmc] rpa: fix custom_mark_destroy confusion

custom_mark_destroy is only needed in the init method, which is fpa.set_integer_native.
optimize PObj_custom_mark_destroy_SETALL to use only one setter call.

  [GC] fix GC segfault with --optimize

A wrong PARROT_CANNOT_RETURN_NULL in Parrot_pf_get_current_code_segment
(unchecked return of inter->code, which can be null) causes GC segfaults
when inter->code == NULL.

Fixes GH #1186.
This wrong PARROT_CANNOT_RETURN_NULL was added with 3.6.0
in 7dc0e2276d3612afd at Wed Jun 29 20:52:24 2011
but started being fatal after the new packfile refactor with 7.0,
when the cc optimizer started optimizing away the bc != NULL check
in mark_code_segment()

  [GC] optimize away a Parrot_pf_get_current_code_segment call

This was the call with the wrong CANNOT_RETURN_NULL attribute, causing GH #1186.
We only need inter->code, and it can be const. The const_table also
