  -----------
  expected_size() needs to be visible everywhere

It was marked as being visible only to perl extensions, but it is called
from the macro SvPV_shrink_to_cur, which is visible everywhere.
When an element needs to be visible everywhere, but we don't want people
to be using it directly, the 'C' flag is what is needed.

Thanks to Tony Cook for diagnosing the problem

Fixes #24295
Fixes #24296
