Patch file for new port

Small description (see pkg-desc in diff):

"""
Tauthon is a backward-compatible fork of Python's 2.7.18 interpreter with new
syntax, builtins, and libraries backported from Python 3.x.

Python code and C-extensions targeting Python 2.7 or below are expected to run
unmodified on Tauthon and produce the same output. But with Tauthon, that code
can now use some of the new features from Python 3.x.
"""

Tauthon can be used with old code bases that will take time to migrate (or
won't be migrated at all). My use case is the build infrastructure for New
Moon, which I'll submit next as a new port.

This port is modeled after lang/python27, with irrelevant bits (AFAIK) removed,
and specific ones added. As lang/python*, core modules with big dependencies
are omitted, and should be re-enabled in other ports (I did not do it since I
don't have any immediate use for them).

No changes were made to Uses/python.mk, so currently no existing py-* port can
use this version automatically. bapt@ is against such a change, but it might be
useful for folks that want to install some packages under Tauthon (I currently
don't have any use for this), although I guess that 'pip' could be used
instead.

I intend to maintain it, but I'd be happy to defer to python@ (and participate
there from time to time) if you prefer.
