It should not be permissible to ship a "blead-final" release without updating
the "sizes of selected releases" in perlhist. In other words, 5.18.0 should not
ship unless it includes the entries for 5.18.0.

Yes, sure, there's a tiny bit of circularity there. We'll live with the few
bytes of discrepancy.

The program Porting/perlhist_calculate.pl calculates these data. It should not
let you run it if you've already built perl, because it will get ./lib all
wrong.

There should be a porting test (in t/Porting) to require that the data are in
perlhist if the version is 5.even.0.

I could give it a shot.
