Since a while, the semantic of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB has been changed
from "prefer static libraries when possible" to "use only static
libraries". The former semantic didn't make much sense, since the user
had absolutely no control/idea of which package would use static
libraries, and which packages would not. Therefore, for quite some
time, we have been starting to enforce that BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB
should really build everything with static libraries.
As a consequence, this patch renames BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to
BR2_STATIC_LIBS, and adjust the Config.in option accordingly.
This also helps preparing the addition of other options to select
shared, shared+static or just static.
Note that we have verified that this commit can be reproduced by
simply doing a global rename of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to
BR2_STATIC_LIBS plus adding BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to Config.in.legacy.

Dependencies from metacpan comes as a list of modules which is
transformed in a list of distribution for BR. Different modules could
be included in the same distribution, so duplication is possible.
This can for example be seen with the HTTP-Daemon module, which would
get two times the dependencies on HTTP-Message without this commit.

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.
