Title: autoconf: test for Perl and Perl's JSON module

It can be very hard to diagnose when `make-protos.pl` fails, because the build will go all the way through until it complains about missing headers (`der-protos.h` for example).

Add some checks to configure to verify that Perl and Perl's JSON module are available.

(See also the heimdal-discuss mailing list thread about this from November 2013, "building heimdal from git tar ball, missing der-protos.h")
