sagemathgh-36879: update eclib to version 20231212

    
eclib version 20231212 has some bugfixes and also uses flint3 if
available.  No Sage code or doctest changes are required.

build/pkgs/eclib/spkg-install.in has been simplified
buid/pkgs/eclib/spkg-configure.m4 now uses [ge] and not [eq] to check
eclib version
