Doc: update testing recipe in src/test/perl/README.

The previous text didn't provide any clear explanation of our policy
around TAP test portability.  The recipe for using perlbrew had some
problems, too: it resulted in a non-shared libperl (preventing
testing of plperl) and it caused some modules to be updated to
current when the point of the recipe is to build an old environment.

+Avoid using any bleeding-edge Perl features.  We have buildfarm animals

-Tests must run on perl 5.8.3 and newer. perlbrew is a good way to obtain such
-a Perl; see http://perlbrew.pl .
+Also, do not use any non-core Perl modules except IPC::Run.  Or, if you
+must do so for a particular test, arrange to skip the test when the needed
+module isn't present.  If unsure, you can consult Module::CoreList to find
+out whether a given module is part of the Perl core, and which module
+versions shipped with which Perl releases.

+One way to test for compatibility with old Perl versions is to use

+Then re-run Postgres' configure to ensure the correct Perl is used when

+Due to limitations of cpanm, this recipe doesn't exactly duplicate the
+module list of older buildfarm animals.  The discrepancies should seldom
+matter, but if you want to be sure, bypass cpanm and instead manually
+install the desired versions of Test::Simple and IPC::Run.
