Kwalitee metric: Broken Installer

Hi domm, hi perl.qa, we had a discussion about distributions with broken versions of Module::Install. Using Module::CPANTS::Kwalitee::* as models I wrote a simple plugin that calculates a Kwalitee metric "uses_broken_installer". - If the distribution doesn't use Module::Install, it's fine for
