podlators 2.5.0 released

This is a "clear the decks" release, taking care of various smaller bug
reports and feature requests that had accumulated.

There is one big change here: as of this release, pod2text and pod2man die
by default if the POD document has syntax errors.  I'm a bit worried that
this will be too disruptive and I'll have to back it down, but there was
some discussion about this a while back and a general consensus that
hiding things in a POD ERRORS section by default isn't the most helpful
behavior.  Please let me know if this causes significant problems and I
can back it down to reporting errors on standard error without dying.

Note that the modules, Pod::Man and Pod::Text, will continue to use the
POD ERRORS section by default, since having a module suddenly start
throwing an exception isn't very friendly.
