scripts: Switch to more portable Perl shebang The default NetBSD package manager is pkgsrc and it installs Perl along other third party programs under custom and configurable prefix. The default prefix for binary prebuilt packages is /usr/pkg, and the Perl executable lands in /usr/pkg/bin/perl. This change switches "/usr/bin/perl" to "/usr/bin/env perl" as it's the most portable solution that should work for almost everybody. Perl's executable is detected automatically. This change switches -w option passed to the executable with more modern "use warnings;" approach. There is no functional change to the default behavior. While there, drop "require 5" from scripts/namespace.pl (Perl from 1994?).

scripts: add stackdelta script This adds a simple perl script for reading two files as produced by the stackusage script and computing the changes in stack usage. For example: $ scripts/stackusage -o /tmp/old.su CC=gcc-4.7 -j8 fs/ext4/ $ scripts/stackusage -o /tmp/new.su CC=gcc-5.0 -j8 fs/ext4/ $ scripts/stackdelta /tmp/{old,new}.su \| sort -k5,5g shows that gcc 5.0 generally produces less stack-hungry code than gcc 4.7. Obviously, the script can also be used for measuring the effect of commits, .config tweaks or whatnot.
