Mathieu Arnold (mat) · 2.5_2
Fix usage of ${PERL5}.

${PERL5} points to a specific version of perl, say, perl5.22.1, it is
fine to use it in a ports Makefile to do Perly things, but ports using
it must use ${PERL}, that points to /usr/local/bin/perl so that if the
minor version is updated, the shebang keep working.

While there, make some ports use shebangfix, regen a few patches, and
bump PORTREVISION where a shebang went from PERL5 to PERL.

Set USE_PERL5/WANT_PERL as appropriate, for ports that either depend on perl unconditonally, or conditionally.  To be able to conditionalize the inclusion of bsd.perl.mk, they now need to be defined before the inclusion of bsd.port.pre.mk.
