gnu: Add blender@2.79b.

Restore blender@2.79b, the last version that does not require OpenGL 3, and therefore the last version to work on many older computers. Note that this commit relies on blender-2.79-newer-ffmpeg.patch and blender-2.79-python-3.7-fix.patch, which were left in the tree when blender@2.79b was previously removed in commit 1f14453eed. * gnu/packages/patches/blender-2.79-gcc8.patch, gnu/packages/patches/blender-2.79-gcc9.patch, gnu/packages/patches/blender-2.79-oiio2.patch, gnu/packages/patches/blender-2.79-python-3.8-fix.patch: New files. * gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Add them. * gnu/packages/graphics.scm (blender-2.79): New variable.
