Add Perl::OSType as a dual-life core module
This commit adds Perl::OSType 1.002 as a dual-life module. It maps Perl
operating system names (e.g. 'dragonfly' or 'MSWin32') to more generic
types with standardized names (e.g. "Unix" or "Windows"). It has been
refactored out of Module::Build and ExtUtils::CBuilder and consolidates
such mappings into a single location for easier maintenance.
