perl 5.24 demotions

[Iain Lane]

These packages were mostly removed from testing due to being broken for one reason or another as part of the perl 5.24 transition - let's do the same. One or two of the removals are Ubuntu specific FTBFS. I've annotated the below output. I've also blocked all of these packages in britney so that they don't transition straight back in when demoted.

Demoted all of these to zesty-proposed. Confirmed all blocked in britney in the meantime.

[Iain Lane (laney)]

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 perl-modules-5.24 : Breaks: libextutils-cbuilder-perl (< 0.280225)

^- so libextutils-cbuilder-perl should be demoted/removed

It has revere-build-deps, but perl Provides libextutils-cbuilder-perl and any versioned ones have perl as the first alternative anyway, so everything will continue to build.

[Iain Lane (laney)]

Same story for libextutils-parsexs-perl

[Iain Lane (laney)]

and libio-compress-perl
