Documented Perl prerequisite for build system.

Details:
- Added Perl to list of prerequisites for building BLIS. This is in part
  (and perhaps completely?) due to some substitution commands used at
  the end of configure that include '\n' characters that are not
  properly interpreted by the version of sed included on some versions
  of OS X. This new documentation addresses issue #398.

BLIS also requires a POSIX threads library at link-time (`-lpthread` or `libpthread.so`). This requirement holds even when configuring BLIS with multithreading disabled (the default) or with multithreading via OpenMP (`--enable-multithreading=openmp`). (Note: BLIS implements basic pthreads functionality automatically for Windows builds via [AppVeyor](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/shpc/blis/).)
