New port of the launch program.

This is a new port for the "launch" utility. Launch is a very simple, command line program used to launch desktop applications. Launch closes output streams to avoid messages from GUI applications being written to the terminal. Standard input if left open so data can be piped into the GUI application.

The upstream website can be found here: https://github.com/silverhammermba/launch

So this can be replaced by this simple script?

#!/bin/sh
exec "$@" > /dev/null 2>&1

I don't know if this really needs to be a port.
