Maybe we should clarify what does *required* mean for us.

Personally I believe that every Perl module that we directly `use` or `require`
without checking its presence should be flagged as required. Even if the
require is behind a syspref check or something like that. Put more simply, if
Koha dies because of a missing Perl module, that module is a required
dependency.

Maybe later we can build something based on cpanfile's `feature`
(https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/Module-CPANfile/lib/cpanfile.pod#feature)
to warn when an optional feature is enabled and the required modules for this
feature are missing.
