docs(3p/lisp/mime4cl): describe changes compared to original version

Browse source 
Spell out that “may diverge” is more of a “has diverged by now”. We are
essentially maintaining a fork of mime4cl.

MIME4CL is a Common Lisp library for dealing with MIME messages.
It has originally been written by Walter C. Pelissero and vendored
into depot as upstream has become inactive and provides no repo
of any kind. Upstream and depot version may diverge.

# mime4cl
`MIME4CL` is a Common Lisp library for dealing with MIME messages. It was
originally been written by Walter C. Pelissero and vendored into depot
([mime4cl-20150207T211851.tbz](http://wcp.sdf-eu.org/software/mime4cl-20150207T211851.tbz)
to be exact) as upstream has become inactive. Its [original
website](http://wcp.sdf-eu.org/software/#mime4cl) can still be accessed.
The depot version has since diverged from upstream. Main aims were to improve
performance and reduce code size by relying on third party libraries like
flexi-streams. It is planned to improve encoding handling in the long term.
Currently, the library is being worked on intermittently and not very well
tested—**it may not work as expected**.
## Differences from the original version
* `//nix/buildLisp` is used as the build system. ASDF is currently untested and
may be broken.
* The dependency on [sclf](http://wcp.sdf-eu.org/software/#sclf) has been
eliminated by inlining the relevant parts.
* `MY-STRING-INPUT-STREAM`, `DELIMITED-INPUT-STREAM`,
`CHARACTER-INPUT-ADAPTER-STREAM`, `BINARY-INPUT-ADAPTER-STREAM` etc. have been
replaced by (thin wrappers around) flexi-streams. In addition to improved
handling of encodings, this allows using `READ-SEQUENCE` via the gray stream
interface.
