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.

Add dash (-) and plus (+) symbols to allowed characters in variable names:

Dash symbols are required when using OptionsNG and $UNIQUENAME_SET/UNSET. e.g.

[PATCH] ports-mgmt/portconf: support multiple ports per line

        This patch adds support to allow multiple ports on a single line.
        Instead of having to do:
        port1: WITH_COOL_FEATURE
        port2: WITH_COOL_FEATURE

        you can do this:
        port1 port2: WITH_COOL_FEATURE

- Make portconf work when /usr/ports is a symlink.  When the link is changed,
  you have to reinstall portconf to get make.conf right.

As this does not affect most people, PORTREVISION is not bumped.

The patch in the PR does not work: we can not use variable in substitution.
So, the only way to do is to detect the real path of /usr/ports at
installation time.
