Fix c090, inconsistent warning messages for deprecated syntax

For something like the following snippet, a warning about deprecated syntax was either going into the error file or the log file, depending on formatting. This has been fixed.

Fix c091, incorrect closing side comment
+
+ +

An error was discovered and corrected in the behavior of the --closing-side-comment (-csc) flag when only subs were being marked with the setting -cscl='sub'. The problem was that in rare cases a closing paren could be marked with '## end'. The cause of the problem is that the pattern matching regex which was generated for this case happens to match an empty string, and it could happen that certain parens had empty strings as block names. This was fixed in two ways. First, the regex was fixed so that it cannot match an empty string. Second, a test for an empty string was added.

- No significant bugs have been found since the last release, but several

+
+- Vertical alignment of function calls without parens has been improved with
+  the goal of making vertical alignment essentially the same with or
+  without parens around the call args.  Some examples:
+
+    # OLD
+    mkTextConfig $c, $x, $y, -anchor => 'se', $color;
+    mkTextConfig $c, $x + 30, $y, -anchor => 's',  $color;
+    mkTextConfig $c, $x + 60, $y, -anchor => 'sw', $color;
+    mkTextConfig $c, $x, $y + 30, -anchor => 'e', $color;
+
+    # NEW
+    mkTextConfig $c, $x,      $y,      -anchor => 'se', $color;
+    mkTextConfig $c, $x + 30, $y,      -anchor => 's',  $color;
+    mkTextConfig $c, $x + 60, $y,      -anchor => 'sw', $color;
+    mkTextConfig $c, $x,      $y + 30, -anchor => 'e',  $color;
+
+    # OLD
+    is id_2obj($id), undef, "unregistered object not retrieved";
+    is scalar keys %$ob_reg, 0, "object registry empty";
+    is register($obj), $obj, "object returned by register";
+    is scalar keys %$ob_reg, 1, "object registry nonempty";
+    is id_2obj($id), $obj, "registered object retrieved";
+
+    # NEW
+    is id_2obj($id),         undef, "unregistered object not retrieved";
+    is scalar keys %$ob_reg, 0,     "object registry empty";
+    is register($obj),       $obj,  "object returned by register";
+    is scalar keys %$ob_reg, 1,     "object registry nonempty";
+    is id_2obj($id),         $obj,  "registered object retrieved";
+
+  This will cause some changes in alignment, hopefully for the better,
+  particularly in test code which often uses numerous parenless function
+  calls with functions like 'ok', 'is', 'is_deeply', ....
+
+- Two new parameters were added to control the block types to which the
   -bl (--opening-brace-on-new-line) flag applies.  The new parameters are
   -block-left-list=s, or -bll=s, and --block-left-exclusion-list=s,

Use this flag to tell perltidy to ignore existing line breaks to the maximum extent possible. This will tend to produce the longest possible containers, regardless of type, which do not exceed the line length limit. But please note that this parameter has priority over all other parameters requesting that certain old breakpoints be kept.

 
+
To illustrate, consider the following input text:

+
+
    has subcmds => (
+        is => 'ro',
+        default => sub { [] },
+    );

+
+
The default formatting will keep the container broken, giving

+
+
    # perltidy [default]
+    has subcmds => (
+        is      => 'ro',
+        default => sub { [] },
+    );

+
+
If old breakpoints are ignored, the list will be flattened:

+
+
    # perltidy -iob
+    has subcmds => ( is => 'ro', default => sub { [] }, );

+
+
Besides flattening lists, this parameter also applies to lines broken at certain logical breakpoints such as 'if' and 'or'.

+
+
Even if this is parameter is not used globally, it provides a convenient way to flatten selected lists from within an editor.

-# This is a script which can try to fix a formatting problem which could have
-# been introduced by perltidy if certain versions of perltidy were run with the
-# particular parameter combination -scbb -csc.  
-
-# The problem occurred in versions 20200110, 20200619, and 20200822 when the
-# parameter combination -scbb -csc was used.  
-
-# This seems to be a fairly rare combination but could certainly happen.  The
-# problem was found during random testing of perltidy.  It is fixed in the latest
-# version.
-
-# What happened is that two consecutive lines which had closing braces
-# and side comments generated by the -csc parameter were missing a
-# separating newline.  So for example the following two lines:
-
-#   } ## end if (...
-# } ## end while (...
-
-# were actually combined like this:
-#   } ## end if (...} ## end while (...
-
-# If this happened to your script you could insert the line breaks by hand.  An
-# alternative is to run this script on the bad file. It runs as a filter and
-# looks for the special patterns and inserts the missing newlines.
-
-# This will probably work on a script which has just been run once with these
-# parameters. But it will probably not work if the script has been reformatted
-# with these parameters multiple times, or if iterations have been done.
-# Unfortunately in that case key comment information will have been lost.

-# end' was used.
