install/deps.perl could become a useful tool for new users

CentOS partitions the Perl standard library into having
circular dependencies which make no sense to me the more

Eric Wong (5):
INSTALL: update for 2023, NetBSD and OpenBSD
move deps.perl into new install/ directory
updates around RPM packages on CentOS 7.x
install/deps: safer defaults for regular users
