build_ssl.py:fix_makefile() removes "PERL=perl" line from externals\openssl-1.0.2j\ms\nt.mak .

This results in lots of calls like:

./util/copy-if-different.pl "<file1>" "<file2>"

(without the leading "perl")

Which opens the file in the program associates with the extension (Notepad by default) instead of executing it.

Since build_ssl.py:main():219 adds the found Perl into PATH, "PERL=perl" should be safe in all cases and there's no reason to omit it.
