Move deptree2dot to the support folder
Since deptree2dot and the perl requirement are completely optional, we can move this tool to the support folder. This gives the user the option of using it if they have perl installed, and means we do not have an optional runtime dependency on perl. Documentation for this tool has also been added to the support folder. X-Gentoo-Bug: 600742 X-Gentoo-Bug-URL: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600742

+# deptree2dot - Graph the OpenRC Dependency Tree

+This utility can be used to graph the OpenRC dependency tree. It
+requires perl5.x and converts the tree to a .dot file which can be
+processed by graphviz.
+
+Example usage:
+
+$ chmod +x deptree2dot
+$deptree2dot > deptree.dot
+$deptree2dot | dot -Tpng -o deptree.png
