This is a "clear the decks" release, taking care of various smaller bug
reports and feature requests that had accumulated.
There is one big change here: as of this release, pod2text and pod2man die
by default if the POD document has syntax errors. I'm a bit worried that
this will be too disruptive and I'll have to back it down, but there was
some discussion about this a while back and a general consensus that
hiding things in a POD ERRORS section by default isn't the most helpful
behavior. Please let me know if this causes significant problems and I
can back it down to reporting errors on standard error without dying.
Note that the modules, Pod::Man and Pod::Text, will continue to use the
POD ERRORS section by default, since having a module suddenly start
throwing an exception isn't very friendly.

* VERSION: podlators 2.5.0 released.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (guesswork): Extend a small-caps section through
the punctuation that commonly appears in license disclaimers so
that small caps isn't turned on and off at the boundaries of every
word, producing unreadable *roff.

* lib/Pod/Man.pm (new): Support a new errors option with values
die, stderr, pod, and none. Convert the stderr option to the
errors option with value stderr. (#39007)
(end_document): Die if errors was set to die and there were POD
syntax errors.
* lib/Pod/Text.pm (new): Likewise.
(end_document): Likewise.
* scripts/pod2man: Support a new --errors option that sets the
underlying errors formatter option and default to dying on POD
syntax errors.

formatting. Test valid and invalid errors settings.
* t/text-options.t: Likewise.
