Upgrade to flint-3.3.0

[vbraun]

Straightforward upgrade to the latest release

Apparently Singluar is not yet compatible with it

eclib needs patching too (builds fine but crashes at runtime) JohnCremona/eclib#87

[github-actions]

Documentation preview for this PR (built with commit bd8c9ab; changes) is ready! 🎉
This preview will update shortly after each push to this PR.

This PR now works for me, but doesn't fix #40253 when using gcc 15

I will shortly be merging @antonio-rojas 's eclib patch there, so either that patch needs to applied in Sage, or I canmake a new eclib release which Sage will need to use and make as a prerequisite for this PR. Sorry about this, there was a backwards-incompatible change in FLINT.

[vbraun]

The eclib patch is already in this PR, fyi

[enriqueartal]

This PR now works for me, but doesn't fix #40253 when using gcc 15

Any idea why? I got the same result, built but segfault.

[vbraun]

We've narrowed the segfault down to flint miscompiling with gcc 15, see flintlib/flint#2340 for details

[enriqueartal]

It works for me!

[vbraun]

I've added the -fno-strict-aliasing to the cflags, but I still get

Though not sure if its related to flint, might be another gcc 15 issue. Afaik thats just using pari so no flint involved...

That's a random issue, I've beed getting it occasionally for a long time

[vbraun]

Ah true, using different random seed "fixes" the two descent ;)

So this PR is ready for review.

[antonio-rojas]

there's now en eclib release including the patch, and also a 3.3.1 flint bugfix release.
