bug report

[Andrew Whitworth]

I asked for this short exploratory task for a GCI student to try. The
goal was to remove all the calls to
Parrot_pcc_invoke_method_from_c_args from src/io/api.c. We're slowing
trying to move to a system where PMC methods call the IO api
functions, not th other way around. I was hoping that we weren't using
these particular codepaths anymore, but if there are failures maybe we
are.

Thanks to Andrey for giving this a test.
