math/bc-gh: Update to 3.3.0

## 3.3.0

This is a production release that changes one behavior and fixes documentation
bugs.

The changed behavior is the treatment of `-e` and `-f` when given through
`BC_ENV_ARGS` or `DC_ENV_ARGS`. Now `bc` and `dc` do not exit when those options
(or their equivalents) are given through those environment variables. However,
`bc` and `dc` still exit when they or their equivalents are given on the
command-line.

Log message:
bc-gh: Update to 3.2.7

Note that "DC_ENV_ARGS" will lead to dc exiting; this was new in 3.1.4
and I have reported that upstream.

Upstream changes, less bugfixes (and hence first/second do not make
sense; see the full NEWS.md in the sources if that upsets you):

## 3.2.5

This is a production release that fixes several bugs and adds a couple small
things.

The two most important bugs were bugs that causes `dc` to access memory
out-of-bounds (crash in debug builds). This was found by upgrading to `afl++`
from `afl`. Both were caused by a failure to distinguish between the same two
cases.

Fourth, the pseudo-random number now attempts to seed itself with `/dev/random`
if `/dev/urandom` fails.

## 3.2.0

This is a production release that has one bug fix and a major addition.

The major addition is a way to build a version of `bc`'s math code as a library.
This is done with the `-a` option to `configure.sh`. The API for the library can
be read in `./manuals/bcl.3.md` or `man bcl` once the library is installed with
`make install`.

This library was requested by developers before I even finished version 1.0, but
I could not figure out how to do it until now.

If the library has API breaking changes, the major version of `bc` will be
incremented.

## 3.1.4

This is a production release that fixes one bug, changes two behaviors, and
removes one environment variable.

The behavior that was changed is that `bc` now exits when given `-e`, `-f`,
`--expression` or `--file`. However, if the last one of those is `-f-` (using
`stdin` as the file), `bc` does not exit. If `-f-` exists and is not the last of
the `-e` and `-f` options (and equivalents), `bc` gives a fatal error and exits.

Next, I removed the `BC_EXPR_EXIT` and `DC_EXPR_EXIT` environment variables
since their use is not needed with the behavior change.

Finally, I made it so `bc` does not print the header, though the `-q` and
`--quiet` options were kept for compatibility with GNU `bc`.

math/bc-gh: Fix PLIST in last commit

Log message:
math/bc-gh: Update to 3.1.2

At my request, upstream added a flag to install all locales, rather
than the locales that are installed on the current system.  This leads
to a consistent PLIST (and more locales).

## 3.1.2

This is a production release that adds a way to install *all* locales. Users do
***NOT*** need to upgrade.

For package maintainers wishing to make use of the change, just pass `-l` to
`configure.sh`.

Log message:
math/bc-gh: Update to 3.1.1

Notable upstream changes:

## 3.1.0

The behavior that was adjusted was how code from the `-e` and `-f` arguments
(and equivalents) were executed. They used to be executed as one big chunk, but
in this release, they are now executed line-by-line.

The first bug fix in how output to `stdout` was handled in `SIGINT`. If a
`SIGINT` came in, the `stdout` buffer was not correctly flushed. In fact, a
clean-up function was not getting called. This release fixes that bug.

The second bug is in how `dc` handled input from `stdin`. This affected `bc` as
well since it was a mishandling of the `stdin` buffer.

The third fixed bug was that `bc` and `dc` could `abort()` (in debug mode) when
receiving a `SIGTERM`. This one was a race condition with pushing and popping
items onto and out of vectors.

The fourth bug fixed was that `bc` could leave extra items on the stack and
thus, not properly clean up some memory. (The memory would still get
`free()`'ed, but it would not be `free()`'ed when it could have been.)

The next two bugs were bugs in `bc`'s parser that caused crashes when executing
the resulting code.

The last two bugs were crashes in `dc` that resulted from mishandling of
strings.

## 3.0.2

This is a production release that adds `utf8` locale symlinks and removes an
unused `auto` variable from the `ceil()` function in the [extended math
library][16].

## 3.0.1

The second change is to make the new implementation of `ceil()` in `lib2.bc`
much more efficient.

Log message:
nbc-gh: Update to 3.0.0

Upstream changes:

  multiple bug fixes and minor improvements
  redesign of signal handling (not intended to be user visible)

Besides the following, see NEWS in the sources for details.

  *First, the `2.7.0` release series saw a change in the option parsing. This made
  me change one error message and add a few others. The error message that was
  changed removed one format specifier. This means that `printf()` will seqfault
  on old locale files. Unfortunately, `bc` cannot use any locale files except the
  global ones that are already installed, so it will use the previous ones while
  running tests during install. **If `bc` segfaults while running arg tests when
  updating, it is because the global locale files have not been replaced. Make
  sure to either prevent the test suite from running on update or remove the old
  locale files before updating.** Once this is done, `bc` should install without
  problems.*

  *Second, **the option to build without signal support has been removed**. See
  below for the reasons why.*

  This is a production release with some small bug fixes, a few improvements,
  three major bug fixes, and a complete redesign of `bc`'s error and signal
  handling. **Users and package maintainers should update to this version as soon
  as possible.**
