GDMD picking up wrong GDC
In GitHub Actions I installed `sudo apt install gdc-12` now inside Ubuntu 22.04, however `gdc` still seemed to be a small extra package that's symlinking gdc to gdc-11. Now gdmd is picking up GDC 11 instead of GDC 12, causing issues in the build. Is there a way to tell gdmd to use GDC 12? Right now I hacked around this by doing ``` sudo rm /usr/bin/gdc sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gdc-12 /usr/bin/gdc ``` but if this wasn't a CI, I wouldn't really wanna do this. Would it be possible to provide extra gdmd scripts like gdmd-12 that pick gdc-12 on Ubuntu? see commit https://github.com/dlang-community/libdparse/commit/03099519982c10b9d7831771bcb744f06b727400 Since this is manual DMD invocation, and not dub, I can't just specify gdc-12 as compiler.
