    NEW: native discord client net/abaddon at 0.2.3

Hello ports@

Here's a port I've been working on for a while that might be useful for
the gamers of us. (copying Thomas here since IK he uses discord from
discussions on #openbsd-gaming in libera.chat). I feel I've gotten it
to a fairly clean and usable state.

abaddon is a native discord client written in c++ and gtk+3 that runs
pretty nicely on OpenBSD among other unixen and non-unixen. Since we
don't have electron anymore, this port might be the only way to get to
Discord outside of say, the web client. Unfortunately, a lot of open
source communities, not just gamer-oriented ones, still use this
proprietary platform. This port provides a native way for us to access
discord and communicate with these communities.

Its pretty KISS in terms of user-facing interface stuff, and its
configured by an .ini file documented in the pkg/README (kind of) and
the HOMEPAGE.

This port isn't of super high importance to me, but I figured I'd shoot
it off to this list to get testers and technical opinions on the port
before the usual 2 OKs and import process.

I tested on amd64/-current and i386/-current. More architecture testing
would be appreciated.

Thanks.
