sil-q: init at 1.5.0

[kenranunderscore]

Description of changes

Adds the Sil-Q game, with support for the ncurses and X11 frontends. Sil-Q is the "continuation" of Sil (which is already packaged but no longer actively developed).

The Nix expression takes some things from Sil's and is thus quite similar. One thing I don't know yet is whether I need the NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE = "-fcommon" bit, too. It seems to be relevant to #110571.

This also adds me as a maintainer as a separate commit as per the manual.

I've tried running this using nix run and it may be ideal to add mainProgram = "sil" as well (please see https://nixos.org/manual/nix/unstable/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-run.html#description for more unformation on this). Additionally, when running it after building it, it simply produces the following message:

./result/bin/sil: Cannot create the '~/.sil/apex/scores.raw' file!

The 'lib' directory is probably missing or broken.
Perhaps the archive was not extracted correctly.
See the manual for more information.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks, fixed that! I didn't try it with nix run and it's something I'll do in the future for sure.

No you're not. I have introduced that by replacing --run ... with a --set ... in the wrapProgram call, and it has worked on my machine because I already had the directory from tests before that, sorry. The ~/.sil was in single quotes in the wrapper script, so no shell expansion took place. Should be fixed now as well. Thanks for trying it out!

Edit: @necrophcodr In my mails I saw another comment of yours regarding install. I guess that's been deleted, or am I looking int the wrong place?
