Porting/sync-with-cpan - Many improvements
* Clean up cpan directory before starting (after giving the user a
chance to bail out first).
* Use the "make" (now run_make) infra for all testing, this ensures that
it is all logged in a standard way, and that it all respects the
various parallelism flags that are passed in. We also extract the
test summary data if there is a failure. This massively speeds up the
process when TEST_JOBS is set.
* Always update the MANIFEST so that the lines for the files we have
synced show that they have a description if they are new or if they
have no existing description. We leave previous non empty descriptions
alone in case they have been customized manually.
* Hint to the user that they can use `tail -F mail.log` to watch what
is going on if they wish.
* Update Maintainers.pl early. A common issue with the old version of
the script was that if people bailed out early the maintainer data
would not be updated.
* Automatically extract Changes or Changelog from the release and use it
to automatically commit the update if successful. Includes various
heuristics to deal with the different changelog formats used. (Has
been tested on all modules.)
* Allow reupdating the most recent release of a cpan package. (To fixup
issues that might have occurred in the original update.)
* Support the --yes option to automatically continue where we normally
would prompt for user approval.
* Support the --no-test option to disable testing to speed things up
for bulk updates.
* Add some metadata to the Porting/Maintainers.PL to record who and when
the distribution was updated. This is duplicative of what git log
can show, but it is helpful for "at a glance" review. (It also
helps for testing the changelog extraction above as it ensures that
there is something to commit.)
* Improved docs for the options that are supported.
* Better detection of which distributions is being updated. For instance
sync-with-cpan Scalar-List-Utils now works properly. There is now a
%DistName has that is populated with the different dist names to map
to module name used in the %Modules hash in Porting/Maintainers.pl.
This means that $Modules{$DistName{"cpan/Scalar-List-Utils"}} returns
the correct information, as does $Modules{$DistName{"Scalar-List-Utils"}}
Various other minor tweaks not worth mentioning here.

Log Message:
-----------
MANIFEST + P/Maintainers.pl - changes missed from Config::Perl::V 0.36 update
The MANIFEST file was not updated very artfully in older versions of the
sync script, and the porting tests took so long I bailed out of them
without letting the Maintainers.pl file get updated. Since there is no
test that the Maintainers.pl file is up to date (yet) I didn't notice
that doing so leaves the Maintainers.pl out of date.
The Porting/sync-with-cpan script has been updated to be nicer and
faster and avoid these problems in the future. See previous commit.
