It makes upgrading from one Perl major version to another way easier. For
binary package users, it means pkg upgrade will detect the libperl.so.x.yy
change, and reinstall the affected packages. For users using ports, it will
save rebuild time as it's easier to detect what ports really need to be
rebuilt.

It was never converted to pkg, and starting with Perl 5.18 gives out
annoying warnings.

- Add soname to libperl.so and rename it to libperl.so.PERL_VER, for instance
libperl.so.5.18. To keep software linked with it working, provide a
libperl.so symlink.
- Rollback Perl's man page location change, it creates conflicts for the few
modules that ship with Perl and are in the ports tree.

Before, we had:
site_perl : lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18
site_perl/perl_arch : lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18/mach
perl_man3 : lib/perl5/5.18/man/man3
Now we have:
site_perl : lib/perl5/site_perl
site_arch : lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.18
perl_man3 : lib/perl5/site_perl/man/man3
Modules without any .so will be installed at the same place regardless of the
Perl version, minimizing the upgrade when the major Perl version is changed.
It uses a version dependent directory for modules with compiled bits.
As PERL_ARCH is no longer needed in plists, it has been removed from
PLIST_SUB.
The USE_PERL5=fixpacklist keyword is removed, the .packlist file is now
always removed, as is perllocal.pod.
The old site_perl and site_perl/arch directories have been kept in the
default Perl @INC for all Perl ports, and will be phased out as these old
Perl versions expire.

Generally absolutely paths are not used with @exec in pkg-plist.
In this case, the path /usr/bin/makewhatis doesn't work on DragonFly
where the binary is located at /usr/sbin/makewhatis. Removing the
full path is a no-op on FreeBSD and fixes perl man page installation
on DragonFly. No revbump required.

Starting with perl 5.20, they're not installed any more if empty,
and on FreeBSD, they're (always ?) empty.

- Use SUB_FILES instead of own backed version
- Have etc/perl5_version in the package instead of generating a static
one at install
- Move some mkdirs from pkg-install to pkg-plist
- Move the bin/perl5 creation from plist to post-install
