pear.mk in dh-make-php

Well, it looks like the CDBS guys aren't going to include pear.mk (or
any other CDBS patches) for the time being, because they are working
hard to get CDBS version 2 released. Looking around a bit more, I
noticed that there are other packages which themselves ship files for
/usr/share/cdbs/1/class, and I recommend that dh-make-php do the same.

I have attached a patch which takes an initial step at integrating
pear.mk into dh-make-php. Basically, the file pear.mk is installed in
/usr/share/cdbs/1/class by dh-make-php, and the debian/rules of created
packages then include it. This has the distinct advantage of allowing us
to maintain a single, central copy of pear.mk that we can update to keep
inline with current policy and best practices.

For examples of packages that use the most recent version of pear.mk,
see php-cache-lite and php-pager. The current recommendation would
simply be to get pear.mk out of every package that wants to use it and
into dh-make-php.

If I can be of further assistance perfecting the integration of pear.mk
into dh-make-php, please don't hesitate to ask.

cheers,
Charles
