This reduces casting and long lines.  This should make it easier to
switch to alternatives to st for constant storage.

  not raise an exception even when the constant is private.  Instead,
  rb_public_const_get_* and rb_public_const_defined_* are introduced,
  which raise an exception when the referring constant is private.
  see [ruby-core:32912].

* vm_insnhelper.c (vm_get_ev_const): use rb_public_const_get_* instead
  of rb_const_get_* to follow the constant visibility when user code
  refers a constant.

* test/ruby/test_marshal.rb (test_marshal_private_class): add a test.
  This test had failed because of incompatibility of rb_const_get.
