make sure all optional packages work in the git repository

[ohanar]

we support them, so we need to make sure they will continue to work

Script to systematically try out all optional spkgs: http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/vbraun/Sage/Testing/test_optional_packages.sh

The optional databases will be dealt with here, other packages should make separate tickets. Use the following new "upstream" tarballs:

• http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/vbraun/upstream/database_cremona_ellcurve-20121022.tar.bz2

Leave for later, don't work and no SPKG.txt:

• cunningham_tables
• database_jones_numfield
• database_kohel
• database_odlyzko_zeta
• database_sloane_oeis
• database_stein_watkins_mini.p0

Move to experimental (broken with or without git, probably for a long time):

• fricas (doesn't build with our ecl)
• fricas-aldor (dito)
• libcocoa (doesn't build with our gmp/mpir)

Delete for other reasons:

• jsmath_image_fonts (we switched to mathjax)

4ti2 is currently broken (not related to the git transition) but works with the update at #15172.
