upgrade flint to 1.0.10

[williamstein]

Among other things, this fixes a MAJOR bug in flint-1.0.6 (in getting coefficients of polys) which would make that version of flint pretty useless.

NOTE: One serious concern is that somebody stupidly named the last flint package in sage 1.06 instead of 1.0.6. This means that the sage auto-upgrade system will think that flint 106 is newer than 1.0.10. so this spkg should probably be remade as 1.010 before it is included. Bummer. [[I made it 1.010 below!]]

WARNING: current version of package doesn't copy libflint.so over correctly after build on linux, but does on OS X. On linux you must do

   sage -f -m flint-1.0.10.spkg
   then copy spkg/build/flint-1.0.10/src/... ?? libflint.so to SAGE_ROOT/local/lib

I tested the most recent spkg available at the URL listed above, and it works on Mac OSX. I also watched over William's shoulder as he tested it on Linux, so I can say that I've seen it work on two platforms. Note that this ticket is an absolute necessity for both #2357 and #3502, so we should get this merged ASAP.

The package linked from #2357 modifies the Makefile in FLINT to install the NTL interface. Does this package include those changes?

It might be a good idea to check this package with the patch from #2357.

No worries -- I've already done that. It works fine.
