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.

Remove the FreeBSD KEYWORD from all rc.d scripts where it appears.
We have not checked for this KEYWORD for a long time now, so this
is a complete noop, and thus no PORTREVISION bump. Removing it at
this point is mostly for pedantic reasons, and partly to avoid
perpetuating this anachronism by copy and paste to future scripts.

Upgrade to XFree86 4.5.0.

Ports changes:
- Drop dependency on x11/wrapper. X server already contains this code
(programs/Xserver/os/utils.c rev. 3.58).
- Install default SecurityPolicy with XFree86-4-libraries, thus avoiding
plists and who-owns-what complications between different fooServer ports.
Copy default file to real one if that doesn't exist and remove both upon
uninstall if they are the same.
- Revert change to Imake.rules rev. 3.132 in devel/imake-4 port, since
couple of ports break with this change
(devel/imake-4/files/patch-Imake.rules)
- Add grehans patches for PPC [1]
- Several of directories that were previously in /etc/mtree/BSD.x11-4.dist
were moved to respective ports pkg-plists

Update X.Org ports to 6.8.1, and the DRI port to use Mesa 6.2.  Because Mesa 6.2
DRI drivers are incompatible with the old libGL in XFree86, they have been
repocopied to graphics/xfree86-dri.  Also note that with this commit the html
manpages are going away, and with it the runtime dependency on perl for the
imake port.
