Add handle_code() method to Pod::Simple::XHTML

For ActivePerl we plug in a syntax highlighter for the code snippets in the generated HTML documentation.  In order to support this for perl-5.16 I ended up patching Pod::Simple::XHTML like this:

   https://github.com/gisle/pod-simple/commit/9cafd6c5dd1aa753ba0dc698324b1fe6ef05274d

We will then subclass Pod::Simple::XHTML to invoke our syntax highlighter in an overridden handle_code method.

For this to work without much hassle I also found that I needed to add code to join subsequent text segments so that they were all processed by a single _handle_text invocation:

   https://github.com/gisle/pod-simple/commit/b6bd1521d06246b6c314e149287a590a1ed21da3

Does this look like a sane way to approach this?
