Update FriCAS to 1.3.6

[mantepse]

This ticket is to upgrade to FriCAS 1.3.6 and track dependencies.

Tarball: see checksums.ini

Note that FriCAS has switched to using Git and the primary repository is now the one at GitHub, but the homepage remains at Sourceforge:

• https://fricas.sourceforge.net

and we still get source tarballs from Sourceforge since those available at GitHub are not the full source archives we need.

• http://fricas.sourceforge.net/
• https://github.com/fricas/fricas/releases

Our last update was to Fricas 1.3.5 in #25962 in February 2019.

To try this ticket from your Sage root directory, with git-trac-command installed:

1. git trac try 27309
2. SAGE_SPKG="sage-spkg -o" ./sage -i fricas (or use ./configure --enable-download-from-upstream-url first)
3. ./sage -t --optional=fricas,sage src/sage/interfaces/fricas.py

Ticket retargeted after milestone closed (if you don't believe this ticket is appropriate for the Sage 8.8 release please retarget manually)

comment:2

As the Sage-8.8 release milestone is pending, we should delete the sage-8.8 milestone for tickets that are not actively being worked on or that still require significant work to move forward. If you feel that this ticket should be included in the next Sage release at the soonest please set its milestone to the next release milestone (sage-8.9).
