p5-module-build should depend on p5-pod-readme

[vinc17@…]

When building p5-module-build, the following message was displayed:

--->  Configuring p5-module-build
 * Optional prerequisite Pod::Readme is not installed

ERRORS/WARNINGS FOUND IN PREREQUISITES.  You may wish to install the versions
of the modules indicated above before proceeding with this installation

After installing p5-pod-readme (patched Portfile, see bug #17785), no such warning.

BTW, the last sentence of the description (about the prerequisites) should be updated.

p5-pod-readme uses perl5.use_module_build to build, which has a dependency on p5-module-build, hence adding the former to the latter as a dependency introduces a circular dependency. Also, p5-pod-readme is only an optional module for Module::Build.

OK, but how about informing the user about such an optional dependency in another way, e.g. in the description?
