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.

devel/gps: Upgrade version 5.2.1 => 6.1.0.0

Adacore releases the GNAT Programming Studio annually along with
several other packages.  It is under constant development, so the source
tarballs contain specific versions of xmlada, gtkada, and all the other
dependencies.  However those dependencies are under development as well
and the current versions in the port collections were too new for the
actual 2014 GPS release (which was frozen 7 months ago).

So I packaged the working version of the upcoming 6.1.0 version instead
(the 4th digit means "working" and it increments each time the distfile
is upgraded).

Several options were removed because they are expected by GPS components
to be present (e.g. sqlite and gtk).  The Iconv support was intended to
