Doc: Recommend Strawberry instead of ActiveState perl
Both work, but ActiveState is currently moving to a very restrictive
license policy:
https://www.activestate.com/blog/important-changes-to-activestate-licensing-and-pricing-model-in-2021/
Actually nowadays also the msys perl from git work, so the warning
about the order of PATH is superfluous, too.
This fix is only for 5.15, because the page has been more or less
rewritten for Qt 6.
