Lars Vogdt 73dedee117 Accepting request 843465 from home:badshah400:branches:Education
* Replace manually defined macros to enable/disable different lisp bindings with %bcond_with(out) macros.
* Improve dependency resolution between the different lisp versions of maxima_exec by using Supplements: packageand() appropriately.
* Enable sbcl compiled binaries and package it (needed for maxima-jupyter).
* Enable mathjax support for installed html manual (pass --enable-mathjax to configure).
* Add Requires: rlwrap to maxima, needed for rmaxima.
* Add Suggests: maxima-exec-sbcl to maxima to weakly recommend a specific flavour of maxima in case the user doesn't specify one during installation.
* Add README.SUSE.packaging documenting the packaging changes that will be needed for pkgs depending on maxima.

Note to packagers:
* The availability of multiple providers of maxima_exec (namely,
maxima-exec-clisp and maxima-exec-sbcl) will affect the build dependencies
(but not the runtime deps) of any package depending on maxima, leaving the
package in an `unresolvable` state. This should be fixed at the affected
package's specfile with an additional `BuildRequires: maxima-exec-${flavor}`.
See for example, how this is done for wxMaxima (obs://Education/wxMaxima).
* When building multiple lisp flavours, maxima sets `sbcl` as the preferred
default lisp but it tries and finds other lisp implementations just fine in
case `maxima-exec-sbcl` is not installed. Thus, one only needs the weaker
`Suggests` on `maxima-exec-sbcl` for `maxima` rather than a `Requires` or
even `Recommends`.
* At least one `maxima-exec-${flavor}` must be installed for `maxima` to work;
this is ensured by the `Requires: maxima_exec` for `maxima`.
