hedgewars @0.9.22_1: request to update to 0.9.23

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Here's the best I can do for now.

I added ports for the new dependency hs-sandi and its dependency hs-stringsearch.

It fails to build:

[22 of 25] Compiling Actions          ( /opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_rschmidt_macports_macports-ports-svn-trunk_games_hedgewars/hedgewars/work/hedgewars-src-0.9.23/gameServer/Actions.hs, /opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_rschmidt_macports_macports-ports-svn-trunk_games_hedgewars/hedgewars/work/build/gameServer/Actions.o )

I haven't worked with Haskell before and am not sure what to do about such a problem.

Thanks, yeah, I did that too, locally. It doesn't build the server version. The non-server version works fine. I talked to the hedgewars devs. They say our ghc version is too old. I'm not sure they are right about that. I think their code needs fixing. I have the updated, nonserver version sitting here in a branch, waiting to decide if I'll just push that, or wait a bit for a fix.

I don't see our ghc getting updated any time soon; I asked abt that on the mailing list abt a month ago.

I saw this in the INSTALL.md file:

### Hedgewars Server dependencies

The Hedgewars Server is an **optional** separate application.
It provides the online lobby and allows players to create rooms.
You will also be able to launch the server from the frontend
(network play → local network → start server).

**Most players do not need this!**

So maybe the server should be turned off, and the server should be offered in a separate subport again in the future if and when it works again.

here's my working non server version <​https://github.com/kencu/myports/tree/master/games/hedgewars>

In febd53ca2b881198c8a76f56322f293884b28906/macports-ports:

hedgewars: update to 0.9.23

rearrange patches for new version
use Macports lua51 and phyfs
disable server as our ghc won't build this version
at the present time, at least
closes: #55335

@ thanks to Ryan for some input on this upgrade. Don't know why keybinder gets into the mess, but it conflicts, for sure.

We'll hopefully be able to re-enable the server at some point when ghc progresses. For now, that last version of hedgewars on MacOS has a working server, or you can use a Unix version to host a server.
