perlapi: Slight clarification

This changes to use 'transfer' to make clear that the reference count is
unchanged.  Some think that the previous wording 'take' is good as-is;
some agree with me.  Daniel Dragan has pointed out that 5 years ago I
changed this line, while retaining 'take'.  Given that 'transfer' is
unambiguous to all, while 'take' is ambiguous to some, I'm making the
change.
