maintcheck: remove 'sc_perl_syntax'

It is quite useless, since a "make bootstrap" or "make check" would
immediately catch a breakage in the 'aclocal' or 'automake' scripts
anyway.  In addition, the recent removal of the 'perllibdir' environment
variable hack has broken this check.

* syntax-checks.mk (sc_perl_syntax): Remove.
(syntax_check_rules): No longer list it.
