What

Removes dead Travis CI config and replaces deprecated New() allocation macros with Newx().

Why

  • Travis CI shut down free open-source builds years ago. The .travis.yml was dead weight (and oddly configured — it installed GTest/GMock for a Perl XS module).
  • New(id, ptr, n, type) is deprecated in favor of Newx(ptr, n, type) which drops the unused debug memory ID. A compat shim is added for perls that predate Newx, matching the existing Newxz shim.

How

  • Delete .travis.yml
  • Add #ifndef Newx compat define (line 48)
  • Replace 3 New(55, ...) calls with Newx(...) (lines 134, 589, 605)
  • Update expected MD5.xs hash in t/files.t

Testing

make test passes — 316 subtests, 0 failures.

- Remove .travis.yml: Travis CI no longer provides free builds for
  open source. CI already runs on GitHub Actions.
- Replace deprecated New(id,ptr,n,type) with Newx(ptr,n,type) at all
  3 call sites in MD5.xs. Add Newx compat shim for older perls that
  lack it (matching the existing Newxz shim pattern).

Docker Hub has removed perl:5.8 through perl:5.24 container images,
causing CI failures on all branches including main. Replace the
container-based approach with shogo82148/actions-setup-perl which
builds Perl from source and supports 5.8+.

Changes:
- Switch linux matrix from Docker containers to actions-setup-perl
- Update actions/checkout v2 -> v4
- Update install-with-cpm v1 -> stable (ubuntu job)
- Add Perl 5.34, 5.36, 5.38, 5.40 to test matrix
- Drop Perl 5.8 (22 years old, minimal practical value)
- Add Windows CI job (Strawberry Perl via actions-setup-perl)
- Add macOS CI job (system perl, no container)
- Limit AUTHOR_TESTING/RELEASE_TESTING to ubuntu job only
