#56978: glfw @a94a84b507b0d6d11e8a3f257cb21f4bd6553516: Unsuitable version number

The version of the glfw port on Snow Leopard is
`a94a84b507b0d6d11e8a3f257cb21f4bd6553516`:
{{{
$ port info glfw os.major=10 | head -n 1
glfw @a94a84b507b0d6d11e8a3f257cb21f4bd6553516 (graphics)
}}}
This is not a suitable value to use for a version number. A version number
should be a dotted decimal like `3.2`, or a date like `20151018`, or even
a combination of the two like `3.2-20151018`.
The version was changed to this value in
[24315638124bb91870778b03f555038acd17a9b6/macports-ports].
Prior to this change, the last version of the port that built on Snow
Leopard was apparently 3.1.2. The MacPorts `vercmp` procedure considers
`3.1.2` to be greater than `a94a84b507b0d6d11e8a3f257cb21f4bd6553516`. So
existing users of glfw 3.1.2 on Snow Leopard have not been informed of the
availability of this update, since the epoch was not increased.
Instead of increasing the epoch, please set the version to a suitable
dotted decimal value that MacPorts considers to be greater than `3.1.2`.
