Peter Simons 3cd02cd43d maxima: switch from clisp to sbcl, enable tk gui, and fix various impurities
* Build maxima with sbcl for better performance.

 * Enable the regression test suite.

 * Configure $PATH at start-up so that maxima knows how to find sbcl,
   wish, rlwrap, and gnuplot.

 * Move installed documentation and Emacs lisp modules into standard
   locations.

 * Enable parallel building.
