The perl-cross tarball allows to patch the Perl distribution (in a
_POST_EXTRACT_HOOKS). The github helper gives a copy of the project which
allows to build this tarball. So, the github helper can not be used here.

ExtUtils::MakeMaker adds all the header files used by the perl as
dependencies to the generated Makefile. This means that the generated
Makefile will depend on the system's header files.
Usually this is not a problem, because when building the target package,
these header files will indeed be found in $(STAGING_DIR). However, some
distro's add an extra header file to the system's perl. This header is
also included in the generated Makefile, which makes the build fail
because it doesn't exist in $(STAGING_DIR).
As a work-around, explicitly create this header file in $(STAGING_DIR).
It doesn't hurt to create it even if the system perl doesn't need it.

The Perl infrastructure uses a host version of Module-Build
(see previous commit "host-perl-module-build: new package").
The target version is never used, so no need to patch it.

In order to simplify determining the right extractor tool for a given
file type, this patch introduces a make function 'suitable-extractor'.
Its usage is $(call suitable-extractor,filename), and it returns the
path to the suitable extractor.

When a FOO_SITE variable ends in a slash and gets joined with a
FOO_SOURCE variable like $(FOO_SITE)/$(FOO_SOURCE), the resulting URI
has a double slash. While double-slashes are fine in unix paths, they
are reserved in URIs - the part following '//' must be an authority.

configure had to be called twice because with --mode=cross the
miniperl-step failed. However, just leaving out the --mode parameter
is sufficient to make it work. Since GNU_TARGET_NAME is always
different from the host's tuple (it has -buildroot- in it), we can
safely assume that the configure script will automatically enter
cross mode.
Also fix a type in perladmin definition.

The perlcross project makes it possible to properly cross-compile
perl. It creates a host-miniperl that is configured for the target
and uses that to cross-compile the perl modules.
Unfortunately there are still a few hacks needed to make it work.
Proper fixes can be developed and upstreamed later.
Since there is no longer a dependency on qemu, it works on all
architectures again.
Also removed some config options:
- BR2_PACKAGE_PERL_CUSTOM_INSTALL just allows a selection of modules;
this can also be encoded by an empty BR2_PACKAGE_PERL_MODULES.
- BR2_PACKAGE_PERL_DB_FILE and BR2_PACKAGE_PERL_GDBM_FILE can be
derived automatically from the package configs.
