Update configure with checks for mpfr, mpc, and ntl

[embray]

This ticket bundles together #27258, #27259, and #27265 in such a way that the configure tarball is updated to contain the configure changes from each of those tickets.

Once all three have been merged (or at the same time) this ticket can also be merged to bump the configure version.

It occurs to me actually that we probably can't merge any of #27258, #27259, #27265 without this ticket: Due to the changes in src/bin/sage-env-config.in Sage won't build properly anymore without an updated configure script that makes the necessary replacements in that file.

Therefore, I believe the other tickets should just be closed, and only this one merged.

Rebased again on #27265 and updated the configure tarball. Please double-check I didn't make any mistakes.

here one has to cherry pick the last commit from public/packages/ntlconf - the one
that adds missing quotes, namely

892143a2d89591044dc20a3c87ecccaffdd46dd7

and redo the configure tarball dance...

configure-319 is the current confball, you always need to increment it

Please do a full rebuild BEFORE you set any of #27258, #27259, #27265, #27822 back to positive review.

I've rebuilt these tickets dozens of times, it's never clear w.r.t. the release process whether they will be picked in 10 minutes after they are set to positive review, or sit idle for weeks, bit-rotting.

320 is used for 8.8.beta6, can you resolve the merge conflict and make a v321

[dimpase]

comment:18

sure, as soon as there is a public 8.8.beta6 branch available (nether trac nor github have it)
