Hi!

While working on the “reproducible builds” effort, we have noticed that
that mah-jong does not build reproducible:

https://reproduce.debian.net/amd64/forky.html#mah-jong

This is due to randomness in the proto-encode-msg.pl code generator.

The attached patch fixes this and makes the package reproducible.

Cheers Jochen
