update from current version (ports v361946) to new version

I happened to find out that there is a more recent version of
games/xboard than that in the ports (4.7.3 from January as v361946 in
the ports tree) at H.G.Muller’s page—namely from July.

I have created a patch (see file patch-v361946-to-newVersion.txt) that
does the following things (and supersedes PR/192669 ¹⁾ as it changes
to a new version and includes zippy):
* PORTVERSION from 4.7.3 to 4.7.3.20140702.2 (it seems not to be 4.7.4
  yet, “20140702.2” means that the git-version is from 2014-07-02 and is
  the third commit on this day—I hope, it will help, so that the ports
  system still knows, which version is the older one by using such a
  system)
* MASTER_SITES is changed to my little server again, as I have saved a
  snapshot (xboard-c591aa5.tar.gz) that is a download form there²⁾
  (I do not have a better solution—same in games/fairymax)
* autogen needed (and called as ${WRKSRC}/autogen.sh in pre-configure
  target) as those generated files are not stored in this git repository
* OPTIONS*
  - Zippy (analogous to PR/192669 ¹⁾)
  - Engins in an OPTIONS_GROUP (none or many)
    including correction of sample configuration file
  - GUI front end in an OPTIONS_SINGLE (exactly one of them to use)
  - Sound output in an OPTIONS_RADIO (none or one)
    including correction of sample configuration file
  And many small changes because of the chosen options.
* Dependencies added
* new distinfo
* git url added to pkg-descr as it is not the git url from the WWW url
  there
* pkg-plist changed (should be OK)
* man-/info-pages tell user where to read about Zippy (zippy.README
  installed to) iff OPTION ZIPPY is selected.
* some files were not installed (sound files and game-configuration
  files) (I shall write H.G.Muller about that—but there is another
  matter in connection to that: could take some time until he will
  change it)

I have invoked ports-mgmt/poudriere using the command “testport”
(everything was OK) testing different combinations of the configuration
options and checking the generated xboard.conf.dist file as well.

And something not that important:
In the post-configure target of the old version some command had been
changed (I have kept it for the new one) but not for all analogous code
fragments (there is a comment in the Makefile now above that target—may
be the maintainer wants to look into that matter)

Well: I hope everything is to everyone’s satisfaction.
