afsctool doesn't work on Sierra

Port: afsctool

Description

afsctool, as currently included in MacPorts, no longer works on Sierra. Trying to apply compression to any folder results in 

> afsctool -c .
No compressable files in folder

There seems to be a fix here:

However, I haven't tested it.

This issue is to request an update to a Sierra-compatible version of afsctool.

afsctool: support compression on macOS 10.12

The undocumented f_type returned by statfs(2) for HFS+ filesystems has
changed to 23 in macOS 10.12 Sierra. Without a source release of XNU on
opensource.apple.com, I have to guess this is the intended change.

Unconditionally applying the patch as the change will still work with
older releases where f_type is 17 and it is unlikely 23 would refer to
anything else.

Closes: #52463
