games/vcmi: the port had been updated to version 1.7.1
This is the new major version since 1.6.8 released last
April, with plethora of new features and bug fixes.
We must now #include <sys/param.h> explicitly which was
previously sucked in via, roughly, `boost/thread/*' ->
`boost/atomic/*' -> `boost/atomic/detail/platform.hpp'.

games/vcmi: update the port to version 1.6.3
- VCMI mod now uses same filesystem as all mods, with all
files located under `Content' directory
- Moved all PNG images from `Data' directory to `Sprites'
- Use `TTF_Font' type provided by <SDL_ttf.h> to unbreak
the build against `graphics/sdl2_ttf' version 2.24.0
- Add `post-patch' target to prevent accidentally picking
up Qt 6 bits if they're installed (always prefer Qt 5)
