Submit Catch2

No package depending on Catch2 is ready for 3.x version, so this SR breaks some packages (biboumi, libgpiod, etc.). They all fail, except the ones using their own copy of Catch2 or having their test disabled.

Agree this is a problem.

We could:

Revert this and go back to tracking 2.x versions, or
I could introduce a new package "Catch2-2" (or some better name) to follow the maintenance ('v2.x') branch of upstream git. This would require some (minor) adapting of the specfiles of dependent pkgs like biboumi, etc. to use Catch2-2 instead of Catch2.

What would be the preferred solution you'd suggest?

@susnux Please chime in if you have an opinion. Thanks in advance.

I suspect we will need to maintain 2 versions of Catch2. btw, why did they not called it Catch3 ?

They should have indeed, given the number of changes from 2 to 3.

Anyway, I will submit Catch2-2 soon (testing packages here). I currently have Catch2-2-devel to conflict with Catch2-devel, which should be ok I guess since any application is unlikely to require or work with both versions of Catch.
