Spec file including requested enhancements

BDB has been updated to 5.x in Rawhide and the package name has been changed
from db4 to libdb. It would be good to have the perl binding built against the
main BDB component in the distribution, for compatibility with other BDB-using
applications.

Whilst the latest release (0.42) of BerkeleyDB doesn't explicitly support BDB
5.x, it does build successfully against it and pass its test suite:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2299994

I shall attach the spec file that produced that build, which remains compatible
with older releases and could be re-used in EPEL.

If you are busy I would be happy to co-maintain this package and push the
update myself.
