podcheck.t: Minimize exceptions db entries
This program examines the files in the distribution looking for ones that contain pod. When one is found, it knows that it is safe to link to its NAME. It also maintains a data base that contains two types of entries: 1) known issues; and 2) entries that are safe to link to that are external to the distribution. The latter type includes things like man pages or perl modules not shipped with the core. Commit 1fb05c6 added code to better know that it was safe to link to files containing pod in the distribution. But what happened was that that commit caused all such to be needlessly written out to the data base. That db is supposed to contain things that are exceptions, that can't be found otherwise. It is not intended to have the many entries that get resolved in the normal course of executing this program. This commit solves this by marking the entries it finds normally in parsing as to not be written out to the data base. The data base is regenerated, removing these unnecessary entries that got added in 1fb05c6.
