Downgrade rubiks to optional

[Isuru Fernando]

Hi,

Rubiks package is a combination of 3 packages with lots of patches to the build system

Keeping it standard requires package managers to package this strange package of 3 packages and wastes time if nobody is using it.

Users can use gap to solve the rubik's cube or install the rubiks spkg if sage was built using source.

I totally split it in sage-on-gentoo and keep 3 separate tarballs on
a mirror.

I agree that we should consider making it optional.

I had a look at the examples in the doctests with the current default algorithm (hybrid) and gap:

The timings were, respectively:

933ms 2.41s

927ms 1.18s

937ms 1.13s

So, gap seems to be fast enough imho and people can install the optional SPKG if it's not.

Sure, let us make it optional.

Also, +1 for optional.   It only made sense to include by default in the earlier days when it was unclear what Sage

would end up being.
