perl-POE buildrequires and requires perl(POE::Test::Loops), which of course
requires perl(POE) itself. This will be a problem when it comes to
bootstrapping perl 5.16.

The test suite skips affected tests if POE::Test::Loops is not present, so
omitting it is not a big problem.

The explicit runtime dependency on POE::Test::Loops is also debatable, and in
fact there is an explicit exclude in the spec to prevent that module being
picked up as an automatic dependency (see Bug #632855), so I believe that
should go too (it would have to for bootstrapping anyway, otherwise
perl-POE-Test-Loops would not be bootable).

Suggested changes:
