gnu: perl: Hack the replacement perl to think it is version 5.26.1.

Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/31216>.

This is a followup to commits 217b8c2e06,
44b98b0002, and
35fbe194c3da264859a5addc661b9fbc2dc8ecc7.

Complications arise when grafting perl unless the version of the replacement
perl matches that of the original.  So, here we add 'perl/fixed', which is
built from the perl-5.26.2 source but hacked to believe it is version 5.26.1.

* gnu/packages/perl.scm (perl)[replacement]: Use perl/fixed, not perl-5.26.2.
(perl-5.26.2): Remove compatibility symlinks.
(perl/fixed): New variable.
