Make configure check for minimum required version of IPC::Run.
Per the discussion around 3eb1f4d09, let's have configure verify that the available IPC::Run version is at least 0.79, the agreed-on minimum. It seems unlikely that this could bite anybody anymore, but it's useful as documentation. (Based on that, there's little need to back-patch.) For consistency, also supply a minimum version for the other Perl module we have an explicit check for, Time::HiRes. I used the version that ships with Perl 5.8.3.
