[Package Request] - bear #1137

Description

@wdsnyc

What package is missing from Amazon Linux 2023?

bear - Build EAR, a tool for generating compile_commands.json
https://github.com/rizsotto/Bear

Is this an update to an existing package or a new package request?

New package request.

Is this package available from other distributions?

Yes. Bear is packaged by Fedora and other Linux distributions.

Use case:

Bear is useful for C/C++ development because it generates
compile_commands.json from Make-based builds. This allows tools such as
clangd, Emacs Eglot, VS Code, and other language-server/indexing tools
to understand the exact compiler flags and include paths used by a project.

I'd like to use Bear on Amazon Linux 2023 development EC2 instances
without maintaining a separately built copy.
