Add Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf::perl_min_version_5010000()

Okay, perl_version is an attractive solution, but the warning it generates on
older SA causes administrative heartburn.

That can be avoided by doing this:

if version > 3.004.001 && perl_version >= 5.010000
 ...
endif

UNLESS the perl version is < 5.10, in which case that STILL generates a type
warning.

So:

Patch adds Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf::perl_min_version_5010000() so that we can
do this:

if can(Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf::perl_min_version_5010000)
 ...
endif

Patch includes documentation, but it seems clumsy to me. Comments solicited.
Simply not mention perl_version at all? Revert it completely?
