Write a Haikuports wiki page with common issues and fixes for porting of games

We have had several tasks over the years got Google Code-In relating to porting of games to Haiku. There's some common issues students run into. This task is to write a wiki page for Haikuports listing these issues along with how to handle them. You will need to do a bit of research for this one. Find common issues and their solutions and write up the wiki page. Your mentor(s) can help you get write permission to the wiki. Search through existing game recipes and see what steps were required to solver various issue. At a minimum find answers to these common issues: "How do I allow a game to have a data directory that is writable?", "How do I add an application icon?", "How do I make it show up in the application menu?", "How do I put huge data files into a different .hpkg file from the game?", "It keeps looking for -lm, where is that and how do I make that go away?".
