Support for :perl, :perlfile, :perldo and perleval() (#12809)
* support for :perl, :perlfile, :perldo and perleval() * document that the perl provider doesn't currently work on Windows * document that the perl legacy interface is now also supported * added perleval() documentation * import legacy perl interface tests * only perl 5.22+ is supported * healtcheck: use g:perl_host_prog if its set instead using just 'perl' isn't correct as it may not be the version requested. ditto for 'cpanm', rather go through 'App::cpanminus' to find the latest perl version

Perl integration *provider-perl*
-Nvim supports Perl |remote-plugin|s.
+Nvim supports Perl |remote-plugin|s on Unix platforms. Support for polling STDIN
+on MS-Windows is currently lacking from all known event loop implementations.
+The Vim legacy |perl-vim| interface is also supported (which is itself
+implemented as a Nvim remote-plugin).

+Note: Only perl versions from 5.22 onward are supported.
