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.

- Bring back the .packlist files, many people need them, they will
  automatically added to the plists.
- 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.
