build: look for Perl in configure.

Bison uses "/usr/bin/perl" or "perl" in several places, and it does
not appear to be a problem.  But, at least to make it simpler to
change PERL on the make command line, check for perl in configure.

* configure.ac (PERL): New.
* doc/Doxyfile.in, doc/Makefile.am, tests/bison.in: Use it.
