nix-generate-from-cpan: large refactor
This commit includes a substantial refactoring of `nix-generate-from-cpan`. This somewhat simplifies the code through the use of the CPAN::Meta module while adding the following features: - The program now takes an optional maintainer on the command line that is subsequently added into the generated package. - An attempt is made to convert the license specified inside the META.json or META.yaml file to a license in `stdenv.lib.licenses`. - An attempt is made to disambiguate attribute names of packages whose name is a reserved word in Nix. - Write logging output using Log::Log4perl. - Print module RSS feed URL. The RSS feed, hosted by MetaCPAN, can be used to track updates to the module.
