    build: Drop Perl dependency on autotools
    
    We don’t have the same dependency in the Meson build, and we don’t
    depend on Perl any more. See #1332. The last remaining Perl script,
    gen-unicode-tables.pl, is only ever run manually when we update our
    Unicode character database. It will be ported to Python in due course.
