textproc/p5-ack -> textproc/ack rename

[Lars Balker]

ack is one of perl's little guerrilla marketing success stories - I don't
think it's in anyone's interest to "hide" it behind the p5- label.

Also, we don't call firefox c++-firefox.  p5- is primarily a way to label
"library for perl" not "app writting in perl, distributed through cpan"
