Podify the remaining README.platform files;
merge README.plan9 and plan9/perlplan9.pod; delete plan9/perlplan9.* (the perlplan.doc needs to be regenerated in Plan 9); make the =head1 and =head2 in the README.platform to be a little more verbose (skipped README.os2 not to anger Ilya) so that they look better in the toc; regen toc. p4raw-id: //depot/perl@10461
