Convert kernel/cpu/mkcapflags.pl to kernel/cpu/mkcapflags.sh.
This script generates kernel/cpu/capflags.c from include/asm/cpufeature.h.
Peter Anvin added this perl to 2.6.28.

Replace kernel/timeconst.pl with kernel/timeconst.sh. The new shell script
is much simpler, about 1/4 the size, and runs on Red Hat 9 from 2003.
Peter Anvin added this perl to 2.6.25. Before that, the kernel had never
required perl to build.
