Re: [new port] games/wordsearch: Classic word search game that you can play in your terminal

Thank you Brian for the port guidance and revisions, and thank you to
Stuart and Ian for the terminal testing. I have hardened the curses
initialization up in 2.1 to better support older terminals, which may
not support ANSI color or cursor setting modes.

I plan to submit an updated port this weekend.  Really appreciate the
feedback.
