pkgsrc packaged simh 3.9.0:

Update simh to 3.9.0
See https://raw.github.com/simh/simh/master/sim_rev.h for changes

and currently uses a git snapshot:

simh: update to 4.0.0.20180919

Update simh to a current git snapshot.  The main motivation for the
update is the fix to simh bug #478, which is needed for NetBSD to boot
on an emulated VAX under anita.  There have also been other changes
too numerous to list here, including the following new emulations:
3b2, i701, i7010, i704, i7070, i7080, i7090, scelbi, sigma, uc15.
----------------------------

It would be really nice for packagers to have some sort of releases they
can package, instead of randomly having to choose git snapshots:

There haven't been any simh releases in years, so convert this package
to take a snapshot from github. Update to 7964e2b72d9.

Changes: too many to list them all, full list of changes is available at
https://github.com/simh/simh/blob/master/README.md

Highlights:
- many new simulators
- simulator front panel API
- VAXstation video display simulation using SDL
- UDP and NAT packet transports
- scripting support
