I've updated the net/simplexmq and net/simplex-chat ports to the latest 
stable release, 7.0.0.

The Haskell direct-sqlcipher and simple-sqlcipher dependencies now link 
against the OpenBSD sqlcipher port instead of building their vendored 
copy. I made the same change for zlib. I also updated the existing 
patches and reorganized the rather large Makefile to make it easier to 
maintain.

I'm still having trouble with the simplexmq test suite. I would 
appreciate any help identifying the cause of the failures.

For simplex-chat, I'm currently using the latest 7.0.0 beta tag because 
there were no CLI changes between beta 6 and the final 7.0.0 release.
