Note that this is not a production release; normally, upstream asks
that we only package production releases. However, 12.24 contains a
bugfix for https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-22204, and no
production release has that fix.
Upstream changes since 12.00 are basically bugfixes, minor
improvments, and added codepoints for lenses/tags/etc, plus
JPEG XL support is now official
Added read support for Medical Research Council (MRC) image files

The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=..."), minus the packages updated after
the perl package update.
sno@ was right after all, obache@ kindly asked and he@ led the
way. Thanks!
