Game of Trees 0.117 released

Version 0.117 of Game of Trees has been released (and the port updated):

• regress: replace "sed -i" with ed(1) for portable in-place editing
• ensure that error messages from gotsysd libexec helpers get logged
• fix gotsysd using wrong auth and hmac labels in the generated gotd.conf
• preserve bad symlinks across merges during rebase and histedit
• improve binary files detection: detect any control characters, not just NUL
• gotwebd: fix race condition resulting in trucated html with trailing garbage
• make commit coloring faster and more accurate, producing smaller pack files
• improve selection of pack files for pinning in the open pack file cache
• regress: don't load global/home git configuration files while running tests
• make 'got clone' set a got.conf default branch for fetching only, not sending
