Improve packaging of scientific software

A lot of scientific software in Gentoo needs more care, e.g. you can:

• package recent versions of Pythia, HepMC, and other HEP software;
• package machine learning toolkits: tensorflow, keras, and caffe for starting (possibly with an option of picking up Intel patches for high performance);
• package recent versions of Intel tools: icc, ifc, vtune, daal, tbb, ipp, mkl, mpi, etc.
