Deprecate support for MPIR
- bumped minimum flint version to 2.8.5 (released ~2 years ago)
- deprecated support for MPIR
Why FLINT 2.8.5? Ubuntu 22.04 still has FLINT 2.8.4, and Macaulay2 still builds fine using FLINT 2.6.3 (which I backported for the Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 PPA's).
3 test builds are failing
Could you fix the failing test builds?
Looks good to me, but I suppose we should probably do the same thing for the autotools build. There's still a bunch of mpir cruft in configure.ac, for example. I can work on it and push to your branch, if you'd like.
Sounds good!
