Update to parrot version 3.9.0.
Pkgsrc changes:
* Add a patch to fix usleep(1000000) problem causing test failures,
submitted upstream.
* Adapt to changes in the set of installed files.
Upstream changes:
- Core
+ The whiteknight/kill_threads branch was merged, which removes
the old and broken thread/concurrency implementation. Better
and more flexible concurrency primitives are currently being
worked on. This also involved removing some of the last vestiges
of assembly code from Parrot as well as removing the share and
share_ro vtables.
+ random_lib.pir was removed, since better alternatives already exist
+ The freeze and thaw vtables were removed from Default PMC,
because they weren't useful and caused hard-to-find bugs.
+ A new subroutine profiling runcore was added. It can be enabled
with the command-line argument of -R subprof. The resulting
data can be analyzed with kcachegrind.
+ Added get_string VTABLE to FixedIntegerArray and FixedFloatArray PMCs
+ The update() method was added to the Hash PMC, which updates
one Hash with the contents of another. This speeds up rakudo/nqp
startup time.
