Porting/Maintainers.pm: remove note about 5.8.0 compatibility
This note makes no sense to me. It was added in commit 357244ac7b88
whose message adds that the "perl just built" can be 5.8.x. That may
have been true in February 2008 when the comment was added, but there
haven't been any 5.8 releases since December 2008.
At first I wanted to update the note to refer to "features from any perl
version still under support", but maintenance releases are made from
their own branches (and we decide what changes go in those), so there
really is no need to keep the code in this file backwards compatible in
blead.
