SVN Patch File

There are two main changes in the update.

The first is the addition of a symlink,
/usr/local/minecraft-server/minecraft_server.jar. This symlink will always
point to the latest version of the minecraft server jar file (which at the time
of writing is minecraft_server.1.9.4.jar). This was requested by Brody Dover as
it allows for simpler scripting which can target a single filename. For now I
have left the included scripts that reference the jar file pointing at the
original jar file.

The second change is a review of the licensing for this port. The Minecraft
server jar file is bound by the Minecraft EULA (available here:
https://account.mojang.com/documents/minecraft_eula). In particular, I will
quote the relevant section below:

“The one major rule is that you must not distribute anything we've made unless
we specifically agree to it. By "distribute anything we've made" what we mean
is:

- give copies of our Game to anyone else;
- make commercial use of anything we've made;
- try to make money from anything we've made; or
- let other people get access to anything we've made in a way that is unfair or
unreasonable;

unless we specifically agree to it. And so that we are crystal clear, "the
Game" or "what we have made" includes, but is not limited to, the client or the
server software for our Game and includes Minecraft Pocket Edition on all
platforms.”

After reviewing the ports documentation available on licensing restrictions
(found here: https://wiki.freebsd.org/PortsLicenseInfrastructure), I have made
the following additions:

LICENSE=        minecraft
LICENSE_NAME=   Minecraft End User License Agreement
LICENSE_TEXT=   The license can be viewed at:
https://account.mojang.com/documents/minecraft_eula
LICENSE_PERMS=  no-dist-mirror no-dist-sell no-pkg-mirror no-pkg-sell

This is my first attempt at handling licensing for a port, so please let me
know if there are changes or improvements that can be made.

portlint -A output and a poudriere testport log are available upon request.
