    mk/tools/perl.mk: allow to silence the USE_TOOLS+=perl warning

    Packages that don't declare USE_TOOLS+=perl and whose configure script
    invokes perl produce a warning.

    Usually warnings are ignored, but they can also be configured as errors,
    for example during a strict bulk build.  In this situation it is
    necessary to override the default behavior of the perl tool to fail
    silently.  Up to now, defining both TOOLS_BROKEN+=perl and
    TOOLS_FAIL+=perl produced a duplicate make target.

    To handle this situation, let TOOLS_BROKEN+=perl take precedence over
    TOOLS_FAIL+=perl.  This is much easier than finding out in each case how
    to disable the perl check in the configure script, which is most often
    done by adding any of the following to CONFIGURE_ENV: PERL=#none,
    ac_cv_prog_PERL=#none, ac_cv_path_PERL=#none.
