[Pdl-porters] Merging Travis-CI support and closing more bugs

[Zakariyya Mughal]

Hello,

I would like to have the Travis-CI support merged into PDL
<https://sourceforge.net/p/pdl/code/merge-requests/24/>.

The build is passing on Travis-CI
<https://travis-ci.org/zmughal/p5-PDL/builds/51287226> and this merge
request has fixes for pdldoc done by Ed.

There are many benefits to this. For example, I will be checking that
the PDL build works in the absence of Fortran as brought up by
<https://sourceforge.net/p/pdl/bugs/346/>.

In addition, I believe that this bug is fixed
<https://sourceforge.net/p/pdl/bugs/347/> (Bug #347 t/pdl_from_string.t
has a failure if BADVAL_NAN=1) as evidenced by this Travis-CI build :

<https://travis-ci.org/zmughal/p5-PDL/jobs/49775457#L4541>
|
| 47.11 8 min 42 sec 12 days ago 5.20 linux || PDL_WITH_BADVAL=1 PDL_BADVAL_USENAN=1 PDL_BADVAL_PER_PDL=0
|
| [snip...]
| ok 29 - sets nan to bad
| [snip...]
| ok 37 - pdl 'nan' works by itself # TODO Sign of Nan depends on platform, still some loose ends
| [snip...]

Hello,
There are many benefits to this. For example, I will be checking that
the PDL build works in the absence of Fortran as brought up by
<https://sourceforge.net/p/pdl/bugs/346/>.

To follow up on this, I have made a build on Travis-CI which does not
install gfortran. The results show that it is passing in Build #53
<https://travis-ci.org/zmughal/p5-PDL/builds/51292904>,
<https://github.com/zmughal/p5-PDL/commit/8b91abfc66c99e363d78d910fc3de18d13a291fe>.

Should I add these changes to the pending Travis-CI merge request?
