gnu: octave: Update to 4.0.2.

  Small update for GNU Octave. Hopefully in the future we can include the
GUI.

	I'm not a guix developer, neither a guix user yet, but I follow #guix and
	this list, to get prepared :) and read good advice and good guile
	scheme techniques...

So, starting with version 4.0.x, octave _does_ include a GUI by default, and it
launches itself using this GUI by default [which is a terrible shame afaic, but
that's not the opinion of the octave developers].

So the GUI is in your package, and people who would want to use octave the good old
way, in a terminal or in emacs inferior mode much launch it with the --no-gui option.

Hope this info is useful,
David

What toolchain do they use to build the GUI? There isn't anything listed
in the inputs like gtk+-2 (as seems standard for GNU projects).

Qt4

Here, for info, you may check the debian's stretch [debian testing] Octave 4.0.2-1
package dependencies:

	https://packages.debian.org/stretch/octave

Cheers,
