Subject: Use the 'conflicts' CPAN::Meta relationship instead of x_conflicts
The documentation states "Finally, it adds the conflicts to the META.json and/or META.yml files under the "x_conflicts" key." - but we should probably use the standard conflicts relationship documented in https://metacpan.org/module/CPAN::Meta::Spec#Relationships instead.

I have no idea what the state of the toolchain is. Is there anything out there using x_conflicts? If so, I'd want to have both available.

That 'conflicts' field in the META spec means something different entirely: "These libraries cannot be installed when the phase is in operation. This is a very rare situation, and the conflicts relationship should be used with great caution, or not at all." That isn't the same as "the dist being installed now makes these: ... dists out of date and should be updated immediately."
