Patch to solve compatibility issue between flex 2.6.3
Issue/feature addressed
There is a compatibility issue between flex 2.6.3 and the scotch library causing the following compilation error: undefined reference to `scotchyywrap'.
Proposed solution
The problem can be solved by a minor modification of the parser_ll.l while using third party scotch 6.0.4.
Implementation
A patch file and a modified cmake/ThirdPartyScotch.cmake file are used to modify the build/ThirdParty/scotch-6.0.4/src/libscotch/parser_ll.l file at compilation.
