These commits should cause Pod::LaTeX to install to "site" in v5.12 and later, and to issue a deprecation warning when run from the core install starting with v5.17.

I have not tested the deprecation warning yet, and am making this pull request tentatively. Either I will test it and update the PR or someone else will test it. I just need to switch tasks now.

...in other words, using Pod::LaTeX as installed by the perl core
is deprecated.  Pod::LaTeX may well enjoy a long full life outside
of the core.

Users will be warned to please install Pod::LaTeX from the CPAN.
For one thing, v5.12.0 fixed the ordering of @inc so that site comes
before core and things installed to site from the CPAN will be
correctly loaded before the version from core is found.

For another, the install destination will need to be site to make the
CPAN-installed Pod::LaTeX not trigger deprecation warnings!
