Update perl-shared README for MSVC and ActivePerl

- Using MSVC, the last supported ActivePerl version is 5.16,
  e.g. ActivePerl-5.16.3.1604-MSWin32-x86-298023.msi
- Since 5.18, ActivePerl is compiled with GCC compilers, and Microsoft
  toolchains are *not* compatible
- See this FAQ for further details:
