lang/elm - 0.19 - poudriere no network needed

Managed to do the job to make this build under poudriere without a need for
network; thanks to arrowd for all the useful pointers.

As I mentioned over at #haskell-freebsd, there is an interesting question about
the language versions, e.g. right now it would be useful (though not necessary)
to have both elm 0.18 and elm 0.19, in a few months/years though, when there is
a new version of elm, we will likely want to be able to install the new one and
0.19 side-by-side, which can prove tricky if the port is just "elm" with
version 0.19.0.

An option would be to do something like what python does: elm018 (old, but
used), elm019 (current), elm${VERSION} (future).

That raises the question of the name for the executables, I'd incline right now
towards having elm for the current version and elm018 for the old one.

If provided guidance I'd be willing to help make that happen in a way that
works out long-term, giving priority to getting the elm019 in shape to be
added.


Then, with so many people having touched this port, there is also the implicit
question of the maintainer metadata, I left it at haskell at FreeBSD.org and
subscribed to the ML as I guess that'd be mostly non controversial.

Thank you in advance for any input you may have!
