  This adds a package for catch2 at version 3.8.1. As a lot of packages depend
on catch2 v. 3.5.3 this version is left as the default. As this is likely to
change in the future, version 3.8.1 is the base package and version 3.5.3
inherits from it.

* gnu/packages/check.scm
  (catch2-3.8.1): New variable, renamed from catch2-3, updated to v. 3.8.1
  (catch2-3): New variable, inherit from catch2-3.8.1

I have previously raised #77772, but just updating catch2 to the new version
would trigger way too many rebuilds. I thus file this new patch, which will
update catch2 to 3.8.1, but under a new variable name. The old variable will
be used for a derivative of the new package with the old version.

This way no rebuild should be necessary and the new package can be slowly
transitioned to.

Maybe someone with more experience in guix can decide which one is the better
way forward and can close the other ticket.
