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.

Turn
IGNORE= "foo now contained in the base system"
into
IGNORE= "is now contained in the base system"
since the code which prints this string prefices it with the package
name.

Now that bsdiff is part of the base system and conditional IGNORE=

[MAINTAINER UPDATE] security/freebsd-update

        If `freebsd-update cron` fails due to a lack of internet
        connection, two emails will be sent -- one with the error
        message from fetch(1), and the other from freebsd-update
        reporting that patches could not be downloaded.

        This patch corrects this mis-behaviour and causes a single
        email to be sent in such an event; this will be included
        in a future version of the distfile.

Now that I've had a chance to test it, add sparc64 to the list of approved
architectures for FreeBSD Update.

Excuse for committing without a ports commit bit: I'm the maintainer, and
I didn't want to open a PR for a one-word change.

Remove for-i386-only.  This builds fine on other platforms and appears it
would work just fine if someone were offering security update bits.

update security/freebsd-update: 1.3 -> 1.4
  - Much cleaner code (FreeBSD Update is now a shell script, rather than a
    huge ugly makefile),
  - Better performance,
  - Reduced bandwidth usage when no updates are available,
  - Warnings about files which have been affected by security updates, but
    cannot be updated because they have been modified locally,
  - An "intrusion detection" mode which compares every file which can be
    installed as part of a RELEASE against a (signed) database of known good
    hashes.
