GAP v0.13.0

Diff since v0.12.3

• Breaking: Update to GAP 4.14.0
• Breaking: Require gap_to_julia methods to handle recursive
  keyword argument (e.g. by adding ; recursive::Bool = true to the
  argument list and otherwise ignoring it)
• Add GAP.versioninfo()
• Add GAP.Packages.build_recursive(name)
• Add GAP.Packages.test(name)
• Change GAP.Packages.build(name) to no longer try to build the package if
  it is already installed
• Optimize conversion of GAP strings to Julia strings, symbols or Vector{UInt8}
• Use individual artifacts for each GAP package distributed with GAP,
  instead of a single huge "artifact" containing all of them and which
  has to be downloaded for each update (now we can update GAP packages
  individually)
• Use precompiled binaries for the following GAP packages:
  • 4ti2interface
  • ace
  • anupq
  • browse
  • caratinterface
