Add Sage packages for additional software used by Polymake

[mkoeppe]

From Polymake SPKG.txt (#20892):

Should convert this old-style Sage package:

• qhull (new style package for qhull #21143)

Need to improve this new-style Sage package:

• bliss (needs Debian patches; can't use the existing Sage package -- Upgrade bliss package to 0.73 with Debian patches; install header files in location expected by polymake #20901)

Software that currently would need to be installed manually (no Sage package
available) for a more featureful Polymake installation:

• azove,
• porta,
• vinci,
• SplitsTree4,
• barvinok (which apparently brings its own Polymake extension) (isl + polylib + barvinok packages #23547)

It does seem a bit like we're duplicating Debian packaging... In any case, patches can be lifted from there or other distributions.

bliss is a part of Sage, as an optional package. Although it currently installs as a static library only. I don't know in which form it is needed by polymake.

Replying to @dimpase:

Right, I've deleted "old-style" in the description. See #20901 for details.
