Until now Maneage used the host's GNU Gettext if it was present. Gettext is
a relatively low-level software that enables programs to print messages in
different languages based on the host environment. Even though it has not
direct effect on the running of the software for Maneage and the lanugage
environment in Maneage is pre-determined, it is necessary to have it
because if the basic programs see it in the host they will link with it and
will have problems if/when the host's Gettext is updated.
With this commit (which is actually a squashed rebase of 9 commits by Raul
and Mohammad), Gettext and its two extra dependencies (libxml2 and
libunistring) are now installed within Maneage as a basic software and
built before GNU Bash. As a result, all programs built afterwards will
successfully link with our own internal version of Gettext and
libraries. To get this working, some of the basic software dependencies had
to updated and re-ordered and it has been tested in both GNU/Linux and
macoS.
Some other minor issues that are fixed with this commit
- Until this commit, when TeX was not installed, the warning message
saying how to run the configure step in order to re-configure the
project was not showing the option `-e'. However, the use of this option
is more convenient than entering the top-build directory and etc every
time. So with this commit, the warning message has been changed in order
use the option `-e' in the re-configure of the project.
- Until now, on macOS systems, Bash was not linking with our internally
built `libncurses'. With this commit, this has been fixed by setting
`--withcurses=yes' for Bash's configure script.

Until this commit, the configure step would fail with an error when
compiling libgit2 on a test system. The origin of this bug, on the OS that
was tested, appears to be that in OpenSSL Version 1.1.1a, openssl/ec.h
fails to include openssl/openconf.h. The bug is described in more detail at
https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?58263
With this commit, this is fixed by manually inserting a necessary
components. In particular, `sed` is used to insert a preprocessor
instruction into `openssl/openconf.h`, defining `DEPRECATED_1_2_0(f)`, for
an arbitrary section of code `f`, to include that code rather than exclude
it or warn about it.
This commit is valid provided that openssl remains at a version earlier
than 1.2.0. Starting at version 1.2.0, deprecation warnings should be run
normally. We have thus moved the version of OpenSSL in `versions.conf' to
the section for programs that need to be manually checked for version
updates with a note to remind the user when reaching that version.
Other packages that use OpenSSL may benefit from this commit, not just
libgit2.

Until now, the sed script for determining URL download rules in the three
software building Makefiles (`basic.mk', `high-level.mk' and `python.mk')
considered package names such as `fftw-3...` and `fftw2-2.1...` to be
identical. As the example above shows, this would make it hard to include
some software that may hav conflicting non-number names.
With this commit, the SED script that is used to separate the version from
the tarball name only matches numbers that are after a dash
(`-'). Therefore considers `fftw-3...` and `fftw-2...` to be identical, but
`fftw-3-...` and `fftw2-2.1...` to be different. As a result of this
change, the `elif' check for some of the other programs like `m4', or
`help2man' was also corrected in all three Makefiles.
While doing this check on all the software, we noticed that `zlib-version'
is being repeated two times in `version.conf' so it was removed. It caused
no complications, because both were the same number, but could lead to bugs
later.

Until now, throughout Maneage we were using the old name of "Reproducible
Paper Template". But we have finally decided to use Maneage, so to avoid
confusion, the name has been corrected in `README-hacking.md' and also in
the copyright notices.
Note also that in `README-hacking.md', the main Maneage branch is now
called `maneage', and the main Git remote has been changed to
`https://gitlab.com/maneage/project' (this is a new GitLab Group that I
have setup for all Maneage-related projects). In this repository there is
only one `maneage' branch to avoid complications with the `master' branch
of the projects using Maneage later.

Until now the software configuration parameters were defined under the
`reproduce/software/config/installation/' directory. This was because the
configuration parameters of analysis software (for example Gnuastro's
configurations) were placed under there too. But this was terribly
confusing, because the run-time options of programs falls under the
"analysis" phase of the project.
With this commit, the Gnuastro configuration files have been moved under
the new `reproduce/analysis/config/gnuastro' directory and the software
configuration files are directly under `reproduce/software/config'. A clean
build was done with this change and it didn't crash, but it may cause
crashes in derived projects, so after merging with Maneage, please
re-configure your project to see if anything has been missed. Please let us
know if there is a problem.
