[bug#34523] Add tetrinet

[<pkill9@runbox.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2996 bytes --]

Here is a patch that:
 - Removes the full stop after 'no tests'
 - Changes the synopsis from "Multiplayer tetris" to "Multiplayer tetris game".
 - Replaces the description with what you (swedebugia) suggested.

Oh I realised you meant a server program - the tetrinet package builds one called 'tetrinet-server', I tested it just now by running these commands in separate terminals:

`tetrinet-server`
`tetrinet player1 localhost`
`tetrinet player2 localhost`

Sending messages as the two different players shows up correctly in each tetrinet client, so I think the server works fine.
