New description:

 Packages which are known to fail optional doctests or which do not install
 on all supported platforms should be "experimental", not "optional".

 Packages moved to experimental:
 * `4ti2`: doesn't pass optional doctests
 * `autotools`: breaks installation of Singular if `xz` is not installed
 * `compilerwrapper`: totally breaks building Sage on OS X
 * `fricas`: doesn't pass optional doctests
 * `gap_packages`: doesn't pass optional doctests
 * `latte_int`: doesn't pass optional doctests
 * `topcom`: doesn't pass doctests, even breaks non-optional tests
 * `valgrind`: doesn't build on OS X 10.10

 Other problematic packages, not changed here:
 * `arb`: doesn't build on OS X: fixed by #18560
 * `dot2tex`: see #18124
 * `gdb`: does not work properly on OS X: live with it
 * `tides`: see #18573
