podcheck.t: Make blead pass again
Blead is failing sometimes on podcheck.t. I don't fully understand the reasons, but it is some sort of race condition. The base problem that is causing this race to show up is a bug in the new version 3.29 of Test::Harness. It includes 2 pods that have the same name. This creates problems for reading the documentation in an html browser. The software that creates the hyperlinks uses the pod name to figure out what the linked-to document is. It cannot figure out which one to link to when multiple pods have the same name, as here, so podcheck raises an error. Test::Harness should change so that the pods have different names. It's like having two different Unix commands named 'foobar'. Which one should `man foobar` display, if it could only display one? I haven't figured out how to fix the race yet, so this commit just ignores one of the conflicting files for now. The race has something to do with the fact that these are both cpan files which are not normally examined for pod problems, and so the error for one of them is getting suppressed; and which one of the two gets suppressed varies. This bug in Test::Harness also manifested itself as showing up a broken link.
