Update request: flexcpp 2.05.00 → 2.16.00

[rennsax]

• Package name: flexcpp
• Latest released version: 2.16.00
• Current version on the unstable channel: 2.05.00
• Current version on the stable/release channel: 2.05.00
• [x] Checked the nixpkgs pull requests

Other Information

• This package has no maintainers now.
• Since 2.07.00, the source of flexcpp has been moved to gitlab.
• Flexcpp is the dependency of bisoncpp, because the author fbb-git has introduced breaking changed when updating the minor version, simply updating the package may break bisoncpp. I recommend to update these two packages together (they are not dependencies of any other packages).

Notify maintainers

@nckx added this package and updated this to 2.05.00 but he was not a Nixpkgs maintainer since 2018.

@pSub the maintainer of icmake and yodl, the dependencies of flexcpp (and most of fbb-git's projects).

I also volunteer to become a maintainer of this package (and bisoncpp).

The whole stack needs an update. I will deal with this.

@AndersonTorres I've tried some yesterday, and here is my proposed roadmap:

• [ ] icmake: 9.03.01 -> 12.03.00
• [ ] bobcat: 5.11.01 -> 6.06.02
• [ ] flexcpp: 2.05.00 -> 2.16.00
• [ ] bisoncpp: 6.04.00 -> 6.09.00

It's also easy to add darwin support for these packages, I think.
