search.cpan.org is EOL, update links
search.cpan.org has now been EOL’d and turned off, with all URLs redirecting to
metacpan.org [1]https://www.perl.com/article/saying-goodbye-to-search-cpan-org/. While the redirects are likely to the maintained for a long
time, we might as well update to avoid the risk of stale redirects. Attached
patch changes the few links we have to instead use metacpan.

Okay, let's fix that.
While working on the links for CPAN, perhaps these should be switched to
https as well?
src/sgml/acronyms.sgml:
<ulink url="http://www.cpan.org/">Comprehensive Perl Archive Network</ulink>
contrib/fuzzystrmatch/dmetaphone.c:
version 0.05 available from http://www.cpan.org.

Good point, we might as well do that too. Fixed those two and an additional
one in the attached updated version.

Did you notice the paragraph at the top of ppport.h? This is a file
automatically generated so it does not sound like a good idea to apply
the change there. Refreshing this file would make the most sense if
needed, but I have not looked at that in details.
Pushed the rest with a proper back-patch for the docs.

Good spot, I missed that and 100% agree with you.

Thanks!
