v0.13.0

GAP v0.13.0

Diff since v0.12.3

• Breaking: Update to GAP 4.14.0
• Breaking: Require gap_to_julia methods to handle recursive
  keyword argument (e.g. by adding ; recursive::Bool = true to the
  argument list and otherwise ignoring it)
• Add GAP.versioninfo()
• Add GAP.Packages.build_recursive(name)
• Add GAP.Packages.test(name)
• Change GAP.Packages.build(name) to no longer try to build the package if
  it is already installed
• Optimize conversion of GAP strings to Julia strings, symbols or Vector{UInt8}
• Use individual artifacts for each GAP package distributed with GAP,
  instead of a single huge "artifact" containing all of them and which
  has to be downloaded for each update (now we can update GAP packages
  individually)
• Use precompiled binaries for the following GAP packages:
  • 4ti2interface
  • ace
  • anupq
  • browse
  • caratinterface
  • cddinterface
  • cohomolo
  • crypting
  • curlinterface
  • cvec
  • datastructures
  • deepthought
  • digraphs
  • edim
  • ferret
  • float
  • fplsa
  • gauss
  • grape
  • guava
  • io
  • json
  • kbmag
  • normalizinterface
  • nq
  • orb
  • profiling
  • simpcomp
  • singular
  • zeromqinterface
