Use CFLAGS_SL while probing linkability of libperl.

On recent Red Hat platforms (at least RHEL 8 and Fedora 30, maybe older),
configure's probe for libperl failed if the user forces CFLAGS to be -O0.
This is because some code in perl's inline.h fails to be optimized away
at -O0, and said code doesn't work if compiled without -fPIC.

To fix, add CFLAGS_SL to the compile flags used during the libperl probe.
This is a better simulation of the way that plperl is built, anyway,
so it might forestall other issues in future.

Per gripe from Kyotaro Horiguchi. Back-patch to all supported branches,
since people might want to build older branches on these platforms.
