Upgrade lrslib to version 6.2; build a shared library; build parallel (multicore/MPI) plrs, mplrs

[mkoeppe]

This ticket upgrades lrslib to version 6.2. This version, according to http://cgm.cs.mcgill.ca/~avis/C/lrs.html, has the following new features:

• (new in 6.0) mplrs: C wrapper for lrs that allows for parallelization on clusters of machines and uses the MPI library quickstart
• (major revision in 6.1) lrsnash, 2nash: Computes all Nash equlibria of a two person non-cooperative game. 2nash is a 2-processor parallel version

Since Polymake (#20892) seems to need the shared library of lrslib, but lrslib uses a hand-written makefile that does not work on Mac OS X, I have added an autotools build system. It is available here: https://github.com/mkoeppe/lrslib/tree/autoconfiscation

Download and put into upstream under the name "lrslib-062+autotools-2016-07-05.tar.gz"

Thanks for the tarball location. I think I made the patch for last version from here: https://github.com/mkoeppe/lrslib

Though lrs would still be an optional package (I think it is currently)?

[mkoeppe]

comment:9

The 'lrs' package was renamed to 'lrslib' while transitioning to new-style packages (#18127).
'lrslib' installs both the library and the executables.

Upstream: Not yet reported upstream; Will do shortly.

When you do this, be sure to test all the game theory stuff with the optional package. Do they need renaming? I don't think I even knew about this renaming to lib.

[mkoeppe]

comment:14

The renaming was done in #18127, and at that time some "#optional" tests had to be adjusted.

Awesome.
