bug#30693: Xonotic

[Rutger Helling]

I pushed the patch with two minor changes (licenses, invoke instead of
system for xonotic-data). Thanks again!

I didn't open a new bug, no.

I agree it's a shame about patches sometimes being in limbo for so
long. I don't see a solution other than to try to get more people
involved in Guix.
