Bug#870340: perl: perldoc outputs visible escape sequences again

Package: perl
Version: 5.26.0-4
As noticed by Olly Betts, the fix for #758689, where we injected the less
'-R' option in perldoc, has regressed in the 5.26 packages.
It looks like Pod::Perldoc is now trying to figure out what the pager
is before injecting options, and possibly gets confused by Debian's
sensible-pager or something like that.
