devel/gps: Upgrade to 2016 release (plus 2 dependencies)

x11-toolkits/gtkada3: Upgrade version 3.8.3.2 => 3.14.2
devel/gnatcoll:       Upgrade version    2015 => 2016
devel/gps:            Upgrade version 6.1.1.0 => 2016

This upgrade appears to work flawlessly on DragonFly, but
on FreeBSD the PR list below regarding navigation to code
error is unfortunately still valid.

Ada Framework: Switch to gcc5-aux, upgrade 6 packages at once

The transition from gcc-aux to gcc5-aux in the Ada framework has been
blocked by the inability to build gtkada3 and, once resolved, GPS (due
to tight locking with compiler).

A few days ago, Adacore made their annual release of their main libre
products, include GPS.  However, some products were tightly coupled with
the recent compilers, so in order to upgrade, the compiler had to be
switched and dependencies require many ports to be upgraded at once:

  * lang/asis
  * devel/gnatcoll
  * devel/gps
  * x11-toolkits/gtkada3
  * www/aws
  * www/aws-demos

While the version upgrades were modest in most cases (gps, gtkada3), the
amount of work put into each port was significant.  There are too many
improvements to mention here.  A few include the removal of dynamic
package lists and incorporating gnatcoll into gps to avoid building it
twice.  A private "exp-run" was done all on all 50+ Ada ports to ensure
they still build.

Also, a new argument was added to Uses/ada.mk, "run", that pulls in the
GNAT compiler as a run depends.  This was necessary for GPS that will
not launch correctly without the compiler in place.

Add new Ada port: devel/gnatcoll

These components are a major building block of the GNAT Programming
Studio.  As the package description below states, it can also be used
generically.  This splits GNATColl out prior to GPS version upgrade.

    =================================================================

The reusable library known as the GNAT Component Collection (GNATColl)
is based on one main principle: general-purpose packages that are part of
the GNAT technology should also be available to user application code.
The compiler front end, the GNAT Programming Studio (GPS) Interactive
Development Environment, and the GNAT Tracker web-based interface all
served as sources for the components.
