Compile sparse13 as its own static library

Just curious about the rationale. It all ends up in libnrniv anyway.

[alkino]

sparse 1.3 is only an external library: https://netlib.org/sparse/

I find it more clear to have separate builds for separate projects.

This way we are able to do clean build: make sparse13, and it forces us to not link nrniv and sparse13 together.

But if I'm alone, I can cancel this patch.

In fact I was planning to split everything in small independent parts:

• mesch https://homepage.divms.uiowa.edu/~dstewart/meschach/
• gnu (already merged)
• sparse13 https://netlib.org/sparse/
• sparse (I have no idea yet where it came from)
• ivos (destroy it, because copy of interviews subpart)
• scopmath come from Duke University (unable to find a project online)
• sundials https://github.com/LLNL/sundials

Ok. I can see the value. I wrote sparse. I think there is some value in installing/distributing only libnrniv.
I expect libsundials.so will become an exception as it depends on mpi version. In analogy with libnrnmpi and libnrnpython
(although the need for the latter is ambiguous in the context of wheels since the python version on the user machine is known
by construction) there needs to be a corresponding libsundials_xxx.so to each libnrnmpi_xxx.so

[alkino]

To be clear, those libraries are still build statically, so at the end there is still a nrniv blob to deliver.

The difference is only on configuration and build.
