perlhack.pod: fix perlbug invocation

In perlhack,

  % perlbug -s "[PATCH] $(git log -1 --format=%s HEAD)" -f 0001-*.patch

is incomplete; --format=%s needs a proper value.
Use --oneline instead, as it also --abbrev(iates) sha1

$ git log --oneline -1
c8dfc96 regexp.h: repair linux perf compilation

Note that HEAD is optional, but just as clear as <branch-name>.
