Formulae without Sierra bottles

[zmwangx]

Jenkins finally managed to chew through the daunting Sierra build queue. Below are the remaining ones that defied (not necessarily only) Sierra for one reason or another.

The list is generated with the script https://gist.github.com/zmwangx/89f07670c8e42f58434bd6d15653ecf6. You can also pass a blacklist to the script to get a more workable list (e.g., putting qt and qt5 in the blacklist blocks the entire Qt tree). See need-bottle -h.

[zmwangx]

I've ordered the list by popularity so hopefully the priority is clearer now.

[leee]

@zmwangx - do you intend on updating this list(s) as Formula items get updated? (c.f. #5776)

[zmwangx]

@leee Maintainers should check off items directly.

For non-maintainers: if you notice something that should be checked off but hasn't been, please leave a comment, and I (or another maintainer) will get to it. Thanks.

[Moisan]

bokken depends on radare2 which is now fixed. It seems to build correctly now.

[Moisan]

gsoap and dcmtk are fixed.

[zmwangx]

@ilovezfs I've added a reason or potential solution for every reasonably popular formula (just can't get excited about the rest of them).

dc3dd and io seem to be compiling fine now, should try them out on Sierra Testing; gecode is a Qt5 revdep, maybe good to go, not sure because I don't want to install Qt.

A bunch of clock-redefinition should be easy to fix, will leave that to you so that the replaced gibberish is consistent across the code base.

There might be other low hanging fruits which I forgot to mention.
