[FIX] editors/ghostwriter 1.5p2 spellchecking fix

Hi ports@,

On OpenBSD we expect hunspell using apps to look for dictionaries in
/usr/local/share/mozilla-dicts yet ghostwriter hardcodes a list of directories
to check that doesn't include the one above - resulting in a non functional
spellchecker on our platform.

I sent a trivial pull request upstream, that adds this folder:
https://github.com/wereturtle/ghostwriter/pull/285

however, the current CONTRIBUTING policy upstream states:

> Pull requests are presently only accepted for translations into different
> languages. I will be closing all other pull requests.
source:
https://github.com/wereturtle/ghostwriter/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#pull-requests

which means, that likely this change might not get accepted soon and could take
some time until a release gets cut with this.

Hence, I would like to add that patch to our ports tree to enable spellchecking
with the version we have.

Feedback? OK's?

Regards,
Adam
