p5303: avoid sed GNU-ism

Using "1~5" isn't portable. Nobody seems to have noticed, since perhaps
people don't tend to run the perf suite on more exotic platforms. Still,
it's better to set a good example.

We can use:

  perl -ne 'print if $. % 5 == 1'

instead. But we can further observe that perl does a good job of the
other parts of this pipeline, and fold the whole thing together.
