Get notified when packages are built

A new feature has been added. FreshPorts already tracks package built by the FreeBSD project. This information is displayed on each port page. You can now get an email when FreshPorts notices a new package is available for something on one of your watch lists. However, you must opt into that. Click on Report Subscriptions on the right, and New Package Notification box, and click on Update.

Finally, under Watch Lists, click on ABI Package Subscriptions to select your ABI (e.g. FreeBSD:14:amd64) & package set (latest/quarterly) combination for a given watch list. This is what FreshPorts will look for.

*/*: Remove redundant '-[0-9]*' from CONFLICTS

The conflict checks compare the patterns first against the package
names without version (as reported by "pkg query "%n"), then - if
there was no match - agsinst the full package names including the
version (as reported by "pkg query "%n-%v").

Many CONFLICTS definitions used patterns like "bash-[0-9]*" to filter
for the bash package in any version. But that pattern is functionally
identical with just "bash".

devel/libbfd: bring up-to-date wrt devel/binutils

Match the versions of libiberty and binutils. These come
from the same tarball upstream, so it's a bit odd to have
mismatched versions to start with; in addition the libiberty
version is years out-of-date.

Install texinfo files (GNU info) into ${PREFIX}/share/info

After a discussion on the mailing list on moving manpages to
${PREFIX}/share/man for consistency with base where it is
installed in usr/share/man, it appeared the same should happen
to GNU info files which were installed under share in base and
not in ports.

Now texinfo is not in base on any of the supported version of FreeBSD
it is possible to proceed to this move and it is easier to do than
the manpage change.

Other benefit than consistency are less patching: all build tools but
cmake are expecting info files to be under share/info and cmake (patched here)
was having an exception for BSD so the patch makes FreeBSD case less
specific for them

MASTER_SITES cleanup.

- Replace ${MASTER_SITE_FOO} with FOO.
- Merge MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR into MASTER_SITES when possible. (This means 99.9%
  of the time.)
- Remove occurrences of MASTER_SITE_LOCAL when no subdirectory was present and
  no hint of what it should be was present.
- Fix some logic.
- And generally, make things more simple and easy to understand.

While there, add magic values to the FESTIVAL, GENTOO, GIMP, GNUPG, QT and
SAMBA macros.

Also, replace some EXTRACT_SUFX occurences with USES=tar:*.

Upgrade to binutils 2.15.

Revert from USE_LIBTOOL to binutil's own libtool, as libtool13 could
not grok the --without-pic option, and the configure script is not
prepared to handle libtool15 (yet) which in turn could have understood
--without-pic.  Sigh.  At least, that way we can avoid the overhead
of building all the unneeded shared libs.

Still, libtool insists on installing libbfd.la.  As this file is really
small, I give in, and added it to pkg-plist.

This is a port of GNU libbfd, the binary file descriptor library from
GNU binutils.  It can read/write about any object file format on earth.

Soon to be used by devel/avarice.

Requires devel/gnulibiberty, since it (alas) uses undocumented internal
functions from that library.
