Patch renameing the library and include dir.

We dont ship metis4 due to a commercial licensing restrictions which have
changed/fixed for Metis 5.

The package is not altogether obsolete as some older softare still uses it.

Rename the library to match the portname.

Don't produce a shared library anymore: a shared library was never supported by
the original build. We don't ship the resulting package anyways so let
potential consumers link the library statically if needed.

The only port that depends currently on the metis shared library (taucs) will
be moved to metis5 (PR 234141).

This should get rid of the "missing dependency" the packaging system used to
bug with.
