opam: add dependency on gpatch

Updating the opam package repository can silently fail when using macos patch whenever files are removed upstream. As of opam 2.1.6 there is a warning on install to manually install gpatch to avoid any possible issue and the corruption of the local switches. See also ocaml/opam-repository#25961 This commit adds a dependency to gpatch to prevent any issue and avoid unnecessary manual intervention. Signed-off-by: Marcello Seri <[email protected]>
