[arch-general] AL gnustep-core implementation misses gnustep-back

In the recent repo clean up operation gnustep-back was dropped to AUR.

I have maintained the oolite package when it was still in AUR and 
remember plenty of problems with running oolite against faulty / 
incomplete gnustep-core implementations .

The gnustep upstream website [1] lists gnustep-back as a required 
package for every gnustep install .

The ANNOUNCE file in gnustep-back source code [2] states gnustep-gui & 
gnustep-back are 2 components of the display system used by gnustep .

I feel that removing gnustep-back from gnustep-core group goes against 
arch linux policy of staying as close to upstream as possible.
