new build tool: GNU Gengen

[weatherhead99]

Specify library name and version: gengen/1.4.2

This is a generator generator tool that is not particularly popular and hasn't been updated in a while, but a few other GNU tools depend on it (notably, for example GNU gengetopt, which I would also like to package), and many libraries and tools depend on that.

I am not the author nor affiliated with the authors in any way.

• I've read the contributing guidelines.
• I've used a recent Conan client version close to the currently deployed.
• I've tried at least one configuration locally with the conan-center hook activated.
