Suppress a misleading message when closing a paren in a regex

* lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode.el (cperl-forward-re): Suppress an
error message about "End of string/RE not found" when we are
at the end of a narrowed buffer where the end of a RE is
temporarily unavailable (Bug#37127).

* test/lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode-tests.el (cperl-bug37127):
Add a test to verify that the message is suppressed when
inappropriate, but appears when the RE *is* incomplete.
