ExtUtils::ParseXS: min perl 5.6.1 => 5.8.3
Increase the minimum required perl release for ExtUtils::ParseXS from perl-5.6.1 to perl-5.8.3. The next commit will add 'use fields', which requires at least 5.8.0. But also, since 2013 the ExtUtils::ParseXS module has had this line: use Exporter 'import'; which is only supported in 5.8.3 onwards. Nobody has complained about this in the last 11 years, so it doesn't look like we need to support an older perl than that.
