[Bug 274192] lang/perl5*: Drop threads option and always enable it

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=274192

--- Comment #5 from Tom Hukins <tom@eborcom.com> ---
Thank you for your investigation.  I perhaps assumed too much knowledge of
perl: `make test` runs perl's test suite to check it has compiled correctly. 
It is not designed as a benchmark.  Once you have compiled perl, you will need
to run a suitable set of benchmarks.  What's suitable for you may not be
suitable for someone else.

However, I'll repeat my request that we keep the existing option: many
organisations that push perl to its limits (and many that don't) have noticed
performance benefits from compiling perl with threads disabled.  That's why
it's the default when you run `sh Configure`.
