Hello ports@,

These are new ports for:

  net/simplexmq    -- SimpleX Messaging Protocol server
  net/simplex-chat -- SimpleX Chat terminal client

simplexmq provides the SMP message broker and the XFTP file-transfer
server. simplex-chat is the terminal client. Both use devel/cabal
and are restricted to amd64 and arm64 (GHC bootstrap is not
available on other architectures).

The ports target the latest stable upstream releases: simplexmq
v6.5.5.0 (commit 92598c2d) and simplex-chat v6.5.6 (tag v6.5.6).

Patches applied:
  - LibreSSL paths, ED448 fallback in XFTP server init
- GHC 9.10+ and http2 5.x compatibility (TypeLits, DuplicateRecordFields, Config -> defaultConfig API migration)
  - OpenBSD-style config and log directories under /etc/simplex/ and
    /var/simplex/
  - crypton/ram bytearray migration (memory -> ram, asn1-* ->
    crypton-asn1-*)
  - HSEC-2026-0007 backport for aeson 2.2.1.0
  - Service authentication moved from TLS client credentials to the
    SMP handshake
  - SPDX license identifiers and mdoc(7) man pages for the three
    binaries
  - dos2unix normalization of upstream sources before patching

User/group:
  I am requesting UID 906 for _simplexmq. The pid file patch is
  included in the port. See infrastructure/db/user.list diff attached.

Open items I would like feedback on:

1. Test failures in simplexmq
   The simplexmq test suite starts local SMP and XFTP servers to run
   integration tests. Most tests pass, but the XFTP transfer tests
   fail with a connect error ("end of file") when client tests try
   to connect to the XFTP test server on localhost:8000. The TLS
   handshake terminates immediately.

   This may be a LibreSSL compatibility issue in the test server's
   TLS setup, or a port-binding race. I have not yet determined the
   root cause. If it turns out to be a test-infrastructure issue
   that does not affect runtime server behavior, it may be safe to
   mark the test suite as known-failing on OpenBSD. Feedback from
   anyone familiar with the TLS/crypton stack on OpenBSD would be
   very helpful here.

2. Test conflicts between simplexmq and simplex-chat
   Both test suites start local SMP/XFTP servers on fixed ports.
   Running `make test` in one port while the other is installed or
   running will cause port conflicts. For now, the tests should be
   run sequentially and on a clean system. I have not yet
   implemented randomized port selection for the test servers;
   patches welcome.

3. Vendored dependencies
   Both ports carry vendored Haskell dependencies via DIST_TUPLE
   (aeson, hs-socks, direct-sqlcipher, sqlcipher-simple, warp,
   warp-tls, terminal, android-support, zip, blst, libbbs). These
   are upstream forks pinned to specific commits. The cabal.inc
   manifests are regenerated via `make cabal-inc`, which requires
   cabal-bundler from Hackage.

Build test: cabal-inc, build, fake, package on amd64-current with
GHC 9.10.3 and LibreSSL.

Feedback welcome, especially on the test-failure diagnosis and
whether a known-failing annotation is acceptable.
