Update shells/mksh to version 30. Changes from version 29.6 include:
* If the basename of argv[0] starts with "sh", activate FPOSIX early, preventing some typical ksh aliases from being defined. * If FPOSIX, don't pre-define aliases (except integer and local) to benefit operating environments that never heard of the great Korn Shell. * Support x=(a b c) bash-like array initialisation * Support ${foo:2:3} bash-like substring expansion * Don't try to execute ELF, a.out, COFF, gzip or MZ binaries, e.g. mksh /bin/sh. * Prefer well-known signal names to alphabetically earlier ones * Fix a bug delivering ERR and EXIT pseudo-signals to traps combined with "set -e". Update from mirabilos#pkgsrc with small fixups by me.
