Perl modules can have three different types of dependencies:
- configure/build time dependency which becomes host dependency
- runtime dependency which becomes target dependency
- test time dependency which is useless in a cross-compiling context like BR
Before this patch, test time dependencies are handled like runtime
dependencies.
After this patch, test time dependencies are ignored by default. The
newly added -test option allows to add them anyway if needed.

Perl extensions are loaded at runtime with dlopen(), so it does not
make sense to even build extensions that are written in C when
BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB is enabled. A Perl module written in C or with a
dependency on a module written in C is not available when doing a
static build.
Therefore, this commit adapts the scancpan script to automatically
generate a dependency on !BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB when the Perl module
would not work in a static-only configuration.
