This patch series updates Rakudo to the latest version.
It also updates all the packages in gnu/packages/perl6.scm to reflect the name
change from Perl 6 to Raku, and also updates all the packages for which newer
versions are available.

The reason this is a WIP is the following:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ raku -MFormat::Lisp
===SORRY!=== Error while compiling:
Type check failed in binding to parameter '$address'; expected Str but got Any (Any)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Besides for that (admittedly major) issue, Raku runs fine.

Some other minor issues and comments:

• Building Rakudo results in warnings about bogus entries in RUNPATH, which I
  don't know how to address:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
/gnu/store/j4swlyclrwf2sw334lxpf00ll2d0lw36-rakudo-2022.04/bin/raku: warning: RUNPATH contains bogus entries: ("//gnu/store/1w61hypzwmvxw5fpbnv5kx037qbw216k-moarvm-2022.04/lib")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

• I was unaware of bug#46352 [1] when I started updating Rakudo, and thus my
  efforts were completely independent of Alexandru-Sergiu Marton's.
  The only relevant difference between our patch series is that mine does not
  package dyncall.
  Perhaps it should.

• In a future patch series, we should rename perl6.scm to raku.scm and all the
  perl6- prefixes to raku-, but note that perl6-tap-harness must be renamed to
  raku-tap-harness6 to reflect the new upstream name.
  The Rakudo build system also needs to be updated, because the prove6 script
  no longer exists.
  The documentation also needs to be updated.

• The PERL6LIB environment variable is deprecated in favor of RAKUDOLIB and
  RAKULIB, but I don't know what that means for native-search-paths.
  But dropping support for PERL6LIB can (and probably should) wait a while.

In conclusion, I'm going to try debugging the module compilation issues, but
keeping in mind that I decided to update Rakudo because I was interested in
learning some form of Perl (I didn't know the packaging rabbit hole I would be
descending into :)), I don't know how much success I will have.
I would appreciate any help or pointers.

Best regards,
Paul
