polymake: Add system package lists for Perl prereqs #29054

@mkoeppe

Description

@mkoeppe

We add the lists of system packages providing polymake's Perl prerequisites
so that ./configure will include them in the list of suggested packages.

At least for the distributions that provide these packages, this is more reliable than depending on users reading build/pkgs/polymake/SPKG.txt.

This is achieved by adding them in distros/ of a new script package perl_cpan_polymake_prereq (a new dependency of polymake) with an spkg-configure.m4 that checks for the prerequisites and an spkg-install that always fails.

(See also the more ambitious #27763, which will not be ready for 9.1.)
