use metacpan API to retrieve a module's changes #117

See https://log.perl.org/2018/05/goodbye-search-dot-cpan-dot-org.html

Rather than scraping for a link to the raw changes file, we can just get it from metacpan's API, and also use it to more reliably get the distribution name for a module. Just a first attempt, not sure how to test it beyond running make test.
