perl: update to 5.38.0

[gitforwindowshelper]

This closes git-for-windows/git#4488

[dscho]

I guess this PR gives a good reason to switch git-for-windows-automation and gfw-helper-github-app to make the package name a part of the deploy check run name: We will need to rebuild quite a few packages that depend on Perl (and encode the major version number in the DLL name, therefore would not work anymore after the upgrade).

Last time we had a major Perl version upgrade was in #57, and I seem to have failed to record which dependencees needed to be rebuilt. But there is git-for-windows/git-sdk-64@1fb28b3 which lists these:

• perl-Clone
• perl-HTML-Parser
• perl-Locale-Gettext
• perl-Net-SSLeay
• perl-TermReadKey
• perl-XML-Parser
• perl-YAML-Syck
• subversion

So we'll also need to increment the respective pkgrel values of those.

Ugh. Since msys2/MSYS2-packages@9652bfd, vim.exe also links to the Perl DLL. I have zero interest to (re-)build a custom vim package in Git for Windows (even if I naturally will have to do that for the i686 variant sigh). Therefore, we may want to align with MSYS2's Perl upgrade plans and keep the Perl v5.36->v5.38 upgrade out of the imminent Git for Windows v2.42.0.

I'm happy to remove the perl dep (somehow?), I just saw it linking in CI and made it explicit. Not a vim user, so not sure what would be lost there.

It was not actually your change that caused the perl DLL to be linked statically into vim.exe @lazka . It was a change introduced in Perl v5.36. Here is my attempt at backporting the workaround that the VIM project adopted.

Let's close this in favor of #139.
