Rename Perl version macro
This commit introduces new set of macro for Perl version.
The previously named variables: PERL_REVISION, PERL_VERSION, PERL_SUBVERSION
are renamed as PERL_VERSION_MAJOR, PERL_VERSION_MINOR, and PERL_VERSION_PATCH
Renaming these macros facilitates the update to a new major version
by allowing us to deprecate and freeze the previous variables.
Isolating this commit as its own facilitate the transition of bumping
the major version.
A new variable PERL_VERSION_HEX is also introduced.
