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) combinatio for a given watch list. This is what FreshPorts will look for.

I've committed MASTER_SITES changes proposed by Marin Wilke some days ago,
but, the correct way is preserve original MASTER_SITE and add
freebsd.unixfreunde.de just as a backup, I'm doing it right now, restoring
original preserving the Martin's proposed backup.
