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
be optional, but turning it on crashes GPS after the splash popup.  Until
the issue is resolved, the Iconv option has been removed and the GPS
has been configured without it.

GPS 6.x differences from the 5.x series in that the GTK3 toolkit is used
instead of GTK2.  It also has language support for SPARK 2014, syntax
highlighting, tooltips for Ada 2012 and SPARK 2014, enhancements to the
scripting API and various editor enhancements.

devel/gps: link gnatinspector with -rpath definition

Missing rpath for readline library for the gnatinspector program was
detected by pkgsrc checks; fix comes from pkgsrc.  It won't really
come into play for FreeBSD until readline is removed from base because
currently gps defaults to the base version on FreeBSD.
