[package] openssl/any: impossible to use platform Perl with MSVC

[kambala-decapitator]

Description

GitHub Actions public runners have Strawberry Perl preinstalled, so I tried to use it on CI using platform_tool_requires + replace_tool_requires. However, the openssl recipe is hardcoded to use Perl only from the CCI recipe and it throws error in my case:

ERROR: openssl/3.6.1: Error in generate() method, line 417
	env.define_path("PERL", self._perl)
while calling '_perl', line 505
	return self.dependencies.build["strawberryperl"].conf_info.get("user.strawberryperl:perl", check_type=str)
	KeyError: "'strawberryperl' not found in the dependency set"

see here (and same in the 1.x.x recipe):

conan-center-index/recipes/openssl/3.x.x/conanfile.py

Lines 504 to 505 in fcf375e

	if self._use_nmake:
	return self.dependencies.build["strawberryperl"].conf_info.get("user.strawberryperl:perl", check_type=str)

For example, NASM recipe also requires Strawberry Perl, but it doesn't query the conf and doesn't fail.
