Subject: do not require package declaration for .pod files
(I'm using Pod::Weaver through DZP::PodWeaver, so am not sure whether to submit bug here or there. I'll pick the first.) .pod files usually do not contain package declaration (and many other stuffs that a normal .pm has). PodWeaver currently insists that there is a package declaration, also complains about not finding abstract.

PW also fails when processing Perl programs/scripts for the same reason - no package declaration. Seems it might be more beneficial to have the Dist::Zilla plugin avoid certain files entirely, like *.pod and anything in bin/ (or whatever else is identified by the ExecDir plugin).

A "PODNAME" comment, like the "ABSTRACT" comment can now be given instead of a Perl package declaration. -- rjbs
