Declare author-only dependencies

Edit Package perl-Module-Install-AuthorRequires
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Module-Install-AuthorRequires

Modules often have optional requirements, for example dependencies that
are useful for (optional) tests, but not required for the module to work
properly.
Usually you want all developers of a project to have these optional
modules installed. However, simply telling everyone or printing diagnostic
messages if optional dependencies are missing often isn't enough to make
sure all authors have all optional modules installed.
"Module::Install" already has a way of detecting an author environment, so
an easy way to achieve the above would be something like:
if ($Module::Install::AUTHOR) {
requires 'Some::Module';
requires 'Another::Module' => '0.42';
}
Unfortunately, that'll also make the optional dependencies show up in the
distributions "META.yml" file, which is obviously wrong, as they aren't
actually hard requirements.
Working that around requires a considerable amount of non-trivial
Makefile.PL hackery, or simply using this module's "author_requires"
command.
