Log Message:
Update parrot from version 3.1.0 to 3.2.0.

Pkgsrc changes:
 o Adapt existing patches to changes in upstream code
 o Add a fix for the stat() / lstat() tests in parrot; will be reported
   upstream as a bug.

Upstream changes:

- Core
  + Full support for Unicode filenames on Linux and Win32
  + The configuration option --cxx is gone
  + New Generational GC implemented. To enable it run Configure.pl --gc=gms
  + Now op definitions are semantically parsed. It opens possibilities for
    future optimizations of parrot core.
  + A statement convert the '.param' PIR systax
  + A PMC is implemented for low-level buffer access which separate the
    representation from the pointers
  + Support added for 'long double', 'long long', and 64-bit to StructView
  + In math.h are tools available for Inf/NaN
  + Signature PMCs are used pervasively
- Languages
  + A few tests in Cardinal are fixed
  + A binary .dmg is created of Rakudo Star for OS X
  + Winxed
    - Minor fixes, refactors and cleaning
    - New predefs replace, push and provide a way to access multiple return
      values
    - Operators exits, class and .* (indirect method call) added
    - $loadlib directive
    - -o option to installable driver added
    - Indent generated PIR is added to improve clarity and avoid imcc pitfalls
      with non indented sub bodys
- Community
  + M0 roadmap is in progress
- Documentation
  + 'make docs' target, which was serving only to generate superfluous POD
    files, has been removed.
  + Svn remnants from PDDs are removed
- Tests
  + Added 'make release_check' target so that Release Manager can double-check
    tarball
  + Probes added for 'long long' and 64-bit C types
- Rosella
  Rosella is a collection of tools and building blocks for Parrot
  + A working proxy library is created, that make mostly-transparent custom
    proxies for many types of Parrot PMCs
  + A mockobject testing library is created, using the new proxy library
  + The PLA test suite is updated to use the new Rosella testing tools,
    including the new mockobjects to test callbacks
