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.

Description:
When the system first boots, install the pkg(8) tools (if not already installed) and packages listed in the $firstboot_pkgs_list rc.conf variable. If the installed packages added new rc.d scripts, request a reboot. Obviously, this port is not useful after a system is already running; it is intended to be included as part of the installation or disk image building process.

sysutils/firstboot-pkgs: Bootstrap and update pkg unconditionally

The background of this patch is available at:
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-cloud/2020-April/000234.html

Even a `pkg -N` success, the following `pkg install` may still fail because of
the repository version doesn't match between client and server.

Therefore, unconditionally bootstrap and update pkg at firstboot to ensure pkg
and local metadata are update-to-date.

Nominate myself for the useful-use-of-cat award.

pkg detects if its stdout is a terminal and prints many 'done%' lines,
which are useful for interactive use on modern terminals, but not so
useful on a serial console; piping through cat silences these.

pkg uses "is stdin a terminal?" to decide if it's running interactively
and thereby whether it should display a progress bar during downloads.
While rc.d scripts have a terminal attached, for the common case of
unattended installation of servers, this script is not being used
interactively; so redirect stdin from /dev/null to silence the progress
bars and reduce console spew.

The -q option could be used to accomplish this, but that would also
eliminate other more useful information, such as the names and versions
of packages being installed.
