[mmtests RFT v2 0/2] mmtests: fix debian dependencies

[Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org>]

As mentioned at LSFMM 2024, I'm interested in helping expand
thpchallenge-fio and automation fragmentation metrics on mmtests [0]. on
kdevops. My first bump on the road with mmtests was the old perl library
on debian which no longer has a package. This provides a suitable
replacement for it.

Changes on this v2 since v1:

  - Moved routines to Stat.pm as suggested by Jan Kara

  - Removed unit tests, in favor for having unit tests and verifying
    correctness of the replacement in its own separate two git trees.
    One git tree which let's us expand unit tests which will run the
    tests against both libraries easily. And the other git tree to help
    us run the same tests against an unmodified library.

  - Fix a corner case Jan Kara picked up on, and added that case and more
    to the unit tests.

PS. Should we have an mmtests vger list?
