package/perl: bump to version 5.42.0

For release notes, see:
https://perldoc.perl.org/5.42.0/perl5420delta

Note: the release notes mention fixed CVE. Those were already fixed in
Buildroot commit [1] and [2]. Therefore, this update is not marked as a
security fix.

This commit also updates the `utils/scancpan` script, in order to
update the messages about the host-perl version.
