Subject: [PATCH] add author test to check Changes log and run in Travis-CI

- This is to address <https://github.com/PDLPorters/pdl/issues/67>.

  This allows for the Changes file to be parsed on MetaCPAN by
  <https://metacpan.org/pod/CPAN::Changes>.

- Travis-CI: install CPAN::Changes so that the author test runs.
