Log Message:
Upgrade parrot from version 2.11.0 to 3.0.0.

Pkgsrc changes:
 o Remove local patch which is no longer needed.
 o Adapt PLIST to changes in the set of installed files.

Upstream changes:

- Core
  + A new embedding API is available in "parrot/api.h" and documented in
    docs/pdd/pdd10_embedding.pod .
  + Packfile PMCs were refactored and can now be used to produce runnable
    bytecode.
  + Packfile manipulation code now throws embedder-friendly exceptions rather
    than printing error details directly to stderr.
  + Unicode support for file IO, environment variables, program names, and
    command-line parameters was improved.
  + An experimental gdb pretty-printers in tools/dev for Parrot STRINGs and
    PMCs is now available.  (gdb 7.2 or later and Python are required)
  + c2str.pl and pmc2c.pl improvements result in a noticeably faster build.
  + Bugs in our Digest::sha256 library and bit-related dynamic ops were fixed
    by GCI student Nolan Lum. Both now work correctly on 32 and 64 bit
    systems.
- Languages
  + ;)XD - OMeta for Winxed https://github.com/plobsing/ohm-eta-wink-kzd
- Community
  + tree-optimization by GSoC student Tyler L. Curtis joined the nest and now
    lives at http://github.com/parrot/tree-optimization .
  + Plumage now lives at http://github.com/parrot/plumage and is installable.
  + Christmas went as scheduled.  The Parrot team does not take credit for
    this event.
- Documentation
  + HTML documentation generation has been rewritten and greatly simplified.
  + We have improved documentation in docs/project/git_workflow.pod about
    keeping a fork of parrot.git in sync.
  + Translations of our README in various languages are now in the
    docs/translation directory, thanks to Google Code-In students.
- Tests
  + A better way to write "todo" tests with Parrot's Test::More was implemented
    by GCI student Fernando Brito.
  + Major increases in test coverage of many core PMCs, dynamic PMCs and
    dynamic opcodes resulted from GCI and the intrepid students it attracted.
  + Jonathan "Duke" Leto set up Debian Linux x86_64 and sparc32 smokers
    in the GCC Compile Farm, which continually submit smoke reports with
    a variety of configuration options and compilers.  Thanks, GCC!
  + Makefile dependency checking is now automatically tested, resulting in a
    more reliable parallel build.
  + Coverage tests were improved for platforms with and without Devel::Cover.
