[bug#31077] [PATCH] gnu: libfive: Add snippet, enable tests and remove obsolete phase.

[Diego Nicola Barbato]

Hello Guix

I have noticed that the package "ao-cad" has been updated and renamed to
"libfive" recently (commit: 28f4d56dd311a3b4c7102394120de05be6937494).

I have been working on the same thing for a while but I got stuck when
trying to figure out how to correctly install the Guile library so that
it could be used as described in the libfive documentation
(https://github.com/libfive/libfive/blob/9d857d1923abecb0e5935b9287d22661f6efaac5/doc/guide.md)
by running (load-extension "libfive-guile" "scm_init_libfive_modules")
in a Guile REPL.  I also thought about installing it in such a way that
it could be loaded with (use-modules (libfive)).

AFAICT this has not been addressed yet so I will continue working on it.

The updated package definition is very similar to what I have written so
far except for some minor differences.  Among these are a snippet which
removes the bundled catch.hpp file from the libfive/test directory and
the fact that I did not disable the tests.  Additionally I removed a
phase which does not seem to be necessary as the package is still built
and installed correctly without it.

This patch adds those changes.

Greetings

Diego
