Don't apply the CPU affinity hack to nix-shell (and other Perl programs)

As discovered by Todd Veldhuizen, the shell started by nix-shell has
its affinity set to a single CPU.  This is because nix-shell connects
to the Nix daemon, which causes the affinity hack to be applied.  So
we turn this off for Perl programs.
