Make Perl link all .so it builds with libperl.so.

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.

+  Perl now links all .so it builds with libperl.so, 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.
+
+  Ports users are encouraged to rebuild ports that install files in SITE_ARCH.
+  If using Perl 5.18, run:
+
+  With portupgrade:
+
+    portupgrade `find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.18 -name '*.so'|xargs pkg which -qo|sort -u`
+
+  With portmaster:
+
+    portupgrade `find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.18 -name '*.so'|xargs pkg which -qo|sort -u`
