package: add Boehm-Demers-Weiser gc library

This is needed for applications like Zile

[Thomas:
 - use $(...) instead of ${...} to reference LIBGC_VERSION
 - add missing dependency on libatomic_ops dependencies
 - fix DEPENDANCIES -> DEPENDENCIES
 - replace += by = in dependencies definition
 - add host-pkgconf to the list of dependencies
 - fix license, it's a X11-style permissive license
 - fix license file, COPYING didn't exist, use README.md instead]

+         The Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative garbage collector can be used
+         as a garbage collecting replacement for C malloc or C++ new. It allows
+         you to allocate memory basically as you normally would, without
+         explicitly deallocating memory that is no longer useful.
