RakuAST: fix regression in constructing NamedCapture

Adapting this place to the new constructor signature is missing from commit 60af9df988a24a9dabcfdb37147b5c33d6303edc.

Warn about missing perl5 libs in Configure instead of just crashing

On a system where some of the standard library is chopped off into modules, Configure --help would crash with the not-too-scrutible error message that perl5 gives when a module isn't installed, so i'm thinking a friendly message would be nice

rakudo/main: 6f86699f80 | timo++ (committed using GitHub Web editor) | Configure.pl
Warn about missing perl5 mods instead of crashing

There even was already a bit of code in here to get an earlier crash if FindBin, an essential module for this script, is missing, but with this patch there's a nicer error message, and earlier bailout if stuff is missing

rakudo/main: b09a6a153c | (Stefan Seifert)++ | src/Raku/ast/compunit.rakumod
RakuAST: fix name of GLOBAL package

While the symbol is called GLOBALish, the package itself should be called GLOBAL
Geth rakudo/main: 770ff00fc7 | (Elizabeth Mattijsen)++ | 8 files
RakuAST: rename Var::Pod classes to Var::Doc

Makes more sense to use a naming closer to RakuDOC
