Message:

perl: use "MAJOR.MINOR" instead of "Major.Minor", and explain "patch level"

We are already using "MAJOR" and "MINOR" in OpenSSL, do the same here.

The semantic versioning documentation (​https://semver.org/) always use
"patch level", not "Patch level". But let's explain it a little to
prevent puzzling people.
