This essentially reverts commit 69eb643b2, which added a fast path in Catalog::ParseData, but neglected to preserve the behavior of adding a line_number field in each hash. That makes it impossible for genbki.pl to provide any localization of error reports, which is bad enough; but actually the affected error reports failed entirely, producing useless bleats like "use of undefined value in sprintf". 69eb643b2 claimed to get a 15% speedup, but I'm not sure I believe that: the time to rebuild the bki files changes by less than 1% for me. In any case, making debugging of mistakes in .dat files more difficult would not be justified by even an order of magnitude speedup here; it's just not that big a chunk of the total build time. Per report from David Wheeler. Although it's also broken in v16, I don't think this is worth a back-patch, since we're very unlikely to touch the v16 catalog data again.
