vars.pm: remove 'obsolete' description [perl #113974]
The phrase 'obsolete' in the abstract is not well defined
and may be inappropriate. This commit removes it and clarifies
that use of vars.pm is discouraged when 'our' could be used
instead.
No perldelta note was added, as the change is trivial, despite
the version number bump.
