Provide perl version in perl(:VERSION) dependency symbol 

Expressing minimal Perl version as "perl >= 1:5.006" is insufficient:

The Perl version is defined by perl-libs, not perl.
Modules requiring specific Perl but no perl interpreter should not
pull in the perl package.
The epoch numbers are tedious to synchronize.
The auto-generated value is not normalized (1:5.006001).

After this change we will update perl-generators to produce
perl(:VERSION) dependency instead and we will rebuild perl and
perl-Exporter again to leverage this capability.
