Upgrade GAP to 4.5.7

[kini]

While we are at it, move the gap install to $SAGE_LOCAL/gap/gap.x.y.z. Its not cool to put anything but libraries into /lib. Also, make a symlink latest -> gap-x.y.z so that not every script has to figure out the current version number. This follows what is usually done with java, another offender who can't install in a standards-compliant manner:

[vbraun@laptop ~]$ ll /usr/java
total 8
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4096 Jul  9 17:37 jdk1.7.0_03
drwxr-xr-x. 8 root root 4096 Jul  9 17:37 jdk1.7.0_05
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root   21 Jul  9 17:37 latest -> /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_05

And of course the random number generator (random group element) in GAP changed, yay!

Changed keywords from none to rng

It could also be a good moment to include as many gap packages as possible in the gap_packages spkg. I made a list with the licenses of some packages [1] and a spkg with those packages that have gpl license and i was able to make install seamlessly [2].

It was all for 4.4.12 version, but should be easily ported to 4.5

No this is not a good moment to add features to gap. Make a separate ticket.

indeed, that can be done later. Let's upgrade first.
By the way, did you take care of #13341?
