[OE-core] [PATCH 05/11] gperf: upgrade to 3.1

[Burton, Ross]

Neither Debian not Fedora rebuild dependencies, you'll see a lot of
"rebuild" changelog entries where API changes demanded it to happen.

Our builds take longer but you know the build always works.  Their builds
may be broken without anyone noticing for a while.
