devel/gprbuild: Update to 26.0.0

Update to 26.0.0:

Add all build application options, however DEBUG is broken due to style violations in the GNAT tool-chains
De-couple the install from the GNAT ${PREFIX}, and install GPR tools into ${PREFIX}. This makes the GPR tools available in the usual ${PATH} namespace
Install Sphinx generated manual page
Install Ada Library Information files (.ali) into ${PREFIX}/libdata/gprbuild instead of in ${PREFIX}/lib/ this respects the default layout described in hier(7)
Patch build to enable GPR searching in ${PREFIX}/share/gpr, instead of the current limitation constraining it to the GNAT prefix. This makes it easier for integration and use of other Ada libraries/packages in the Ports Tree or external to it
Remove fixed dependency on GNAT-12 from the Makefile and the pkg-plist

There reason I have given up on o D55549 and D55552 is because I realized that trying to push gprbuild files into ${PREFIX}/share/gpr is wrong.

As of right now, we cannot have a single ${PREFIX}/share/gpr directory because we also have ${PREFIX]/share/gpr/manifests there and those point to the compiler-specific files such as libraries and ALI files.
Also paths in the ${PREFIX}/share/gpr files are relative pointing to the toolchain-specific libraries for example.

I think we need to install everything info /usr/local/gnatXX and flavorize our ports, including gprbuild version 1.

The advantage of this will be that unlike most distributions we will not have a conflict on /usr/local/lib/libgpr2.so because our GPR2 lives in /usr/local/gnatXX/lib/libgpr2.so and does not conflict.

For the binaries, I would propose we install a wrapper like javavmwrapper, so that the user can select the toolchain at runtime.

The wrapper would update the "$PATH" and call the tool from the /usr/local/gnatXX/bin directory. Probably there would be no need to set GPR_PROJECT_PATH there.

This commit now has outstanding concerns.Sun, Sep 13, 10:18 AM
