Proposal: Making cmake a standard package

[Matthias Koeppe]

cmake is an advanced build system and currently an optional package, as it is only used for building optional or experimental packages.

I propose to make cmake a standard package (https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/32213). (It is available as a system package on all supported platforms/distributions.) This will allow us to switch the standard package flint from its traditional build system to its new cmake build system, which will be more robust.

Any objections?

+1

 (not only flint, IIRC also arb has a cmake build settings)

Any objections?

We're going to have to do it sooner or later. Might as well be sooner.

This is also required for the matplotlib update, cf #31580
