[Test-Harness] fix string comparisons with $] to use numeric comparison instead
The fix follows Zefram's suggestion from
https://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2012/05/msg186846.html
> On older perls, however, $] had a numeric value that was built up using
> floating-point arithmetic, such as 5+0.006+0.000002. This would not
> necessarily match the conversion of the complete value from string form
> [perl #72210]. You can work around that by explicitly stringifying
> $] (which produces a correct string) and having *that* numify (to a
> correctly-converted floating point value) for comparison. I cultivate
> the habit of always stringifying $] to work around this, regardless of
> the threshold where the bug was fixed. So I'd write
>
> use if "$]" >= 5.014, warnings => "non_unicode";
