SHAR file for games/minecraft-server

I have re-built the games/minecraft-server port from the ground up. The old
version was for minecraft 1.4.6 (released 2012-12-20), whereas this new version
is 1.7.10 (released 2014-06-26).

A summary of the changes are as follows:
- It now provides a "shortcut" in /usr/local/bin/minecraft-server. It is a
basic script which launches the JAR file. This brings it in-line with similar
ports such as games/xonotic
- the "world" files (essentially a database) is now stored in
/var/db/minecraft-server
- the configuration files are now stored in /usr/local/etc/minecraft-server

All files are owned by the user and group "mcserver" (inherited from the old
games/minecraft-server port). Therefore, while you need root to run
/usr/local/bin/minecraft-server, it executes the jar file as mcserver, to
minimise security issues.

It would be great if I could have some feedback on improvements; I am not very
experienced with porting.
