spkg-configure.m4 for maxima

[orlitzky]

We handled ECL by itself in #29617, so now maxima needs its own ticket.

This would actually be "easy" at this point if not for our custom matrixexp.patch (https://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/bugs/2596/).

Depends on #33718

I opened #32898 so that removing matrixexp.patch
has its own ticket.

This works for me on void linux.

Note that debian, arch, and I think also gentoo all include matrixexp.patch; I'll include it in void as well, so this ticket should not depend on #32898.

Maxima is packaged for Cygwin as "maxima",
perhaps add a distros/cygwin.txt file?

Or that can be a separate ticket.
